Surprise. :rolleyes2: I thought I`would be the last to post. Right now is the first time since Friday that I have felt like looking at the computer. Went to the out patient surgery center at 6 am. Surgery at 730. All went well. It was 1230 before I noticed I was still alive.:thumbup:The nurses were great. I was glad to go home and get away from the every 10 min medicine cups of Water. I came home about 230. I felt pretty good Fri pm, but yesterday was rough. I mostly took my tylenol 3 liquid and slept. I had terrible gas pain. My abdomin looks like frankenstine all bruised and long suture looking lines.:huh2:Hopefully today will be a new day,because I was not able to do the Protein or hydration yesterday and I know that is important. Hope all other Friday the15th surgeries are well.:smile: My pain is a 4 this morning. That is tolerable for me.:thumbup: Just took my ty;enol so hopefully will be better soon.

      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.
