Well......... DAMN!

Breathe in and out, and keep reminding yourself that you have no control over the situation, and so therefore, you can't stress out about it.

Try to relax..... watch some trash on TV or something :blink:

Hugs,

Karen

Thanks everyone, well I came home and got a lot of things done I had on my "to do list" so that helped. I also took a nice long nap, :blink: I feel better well one thing I found out was that I will be spending the night so I am better prepared for that too... But I figured another day of as much Soup as I like:thumbup: I love soup so that will really help me through my liquid stage of all of this...

Here I am six days post op, still not feeling like myself but feeling better, I can stay up a full day, but I find that it doesn't take much to fill me up, I only had to take my pain pills once yesterday and dose of liquid tylenol, I wish my pain meds was in a liquid instead of pills it would have been easier to take.

I don't know if I had fill, but I still feel a lot of restriction it takes a long time for me to get a cup of Water down, much less any thicker fluids...

I have this ball under my port that has developed over the past couple of days, i spoke to the surgeon and he said he doesn't think it is anything but I will keep an eye on it and call my primary doctor if I am still concerned in the next few days.

other than that the left shoulder pain is still there, not as constant as it was but still as annoying.

I am feeling better too. I am still a little to wacky to drive. I have been in the house since Sunday. I am still very sleepy or just no energy. The gas is better. It comes and goes not rather than just sit ther all day. I am still trying to get in the fluids, which cause pain when I drink. I weigh in in the morning...my butt has shrunk and my face looks slimer. I want to start a slow exercise routine, but I dont' have enough energy. I don't want to get flabby.

      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.
