Home Sweet Home

By Browneyedbandit

Got home from the hospital about an hour ago. Still having a lot of discomfort. I think it's mostly from trapped gas. Getting up and down is the hardest. Other than that I feel pretty good. Still wanting to sleep a lot. I was on ice chips only all day/night yesterday. Finally got to have sugar free jello and popsicle before I left the hospital and just finished a protein shake a few minutes ago. Even after the two weeks of preop diet, I still find myself craving something crunchy and salty, even if it's just a cracker . Hopefully, this will pass soon because I have to remain on liquids until I go back to the doctor on the 30th.

    I am glad you made it home ok! Just go slow. I have to be on liquids for the next 3 weeks. You can do it. I have one week down. The only time I had problems really is when the food my family is eating smells really good. I am on clear liquids only though so you are doing better if you can have the full liquids like shakes. I like crunchy salty foods too. Actually the sweetness of the popsicles bothers me a bit. If they had cashew flavored ones I might do better! lol

    Congrats on getting banded! You can do it!!

    Hey Leslie!

    How are you doing? I like that idea of cashew Popsicles! Lol I know what you mean about smelling the food the rest of the family is eating! My mom and dad have come over to cook and clean for my husband and sons the past few days. That first night they wanted burgers and fries. The smell was driving me insane! I could still smell it the next morning! Needless to say I went on a Fabreeze spraying frenzy! Lol Its funny because I'm not truly hungry it's that head hunger that's killing me! Hope you are doing well!
