Thanks so much for the well wishes! I finally returned home around 3:30. I don't feel too bad,just very sore! The only thing that concerns me is that I am able to drink more than I thought I would (about 4oz). That kinda worries me. Is that normal?

Everyone's restriction on the day of surgery is different. I understand that as women, we tend to have less restriction right after surgery. I can't remember why, but you are probably ok. If you are really concerned, call you doctor's office and ask. I hope you feel better soon!

Yay, Becky!

Definately call your Doc about your restriction (or lack thereof), get lots of rest, and let the rest of us know how you are doing...

Hopefully I'll be joining you shortly! :smile:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
