Thanks everyone. You're right. Not sure how I got my self in such a mess yesterday. Today I am in a better state of mind and ready to do this the right way. Thanks for the wake up call. Checked with doctor and probably did not damage but my have delayed healing a little. It will NOT happen again and I will follow instructions to the tee....

Glad to know about NSAIDs. I will check into that....

I everyone. I am feeling pretty good although someone mentioned chewable children's Motrin for pain. You are a saint! I am a nurse and didn't even think of that. I am going to start that every 8 hours and see if I can get some of the inflammation down. I have been having a lot of back pain due to being on the operating table for more than an hour. I have had several surgeries, and anytime I am on the table any length of time, I pay with back pain. I had an issue trying to take my other meds (blood pressure meds, thyroid med and antidepressant. Trying to crush and consume them has been awful! Three days ago, within 30 minutes, I was very nauseated, lightheaded, and sweaty/clammy. I talked to my dr. who said it sounded like my blood pressure dropped too low. Anyway, I went off ALL of my meds and decided to monitor my blood pressure. My blood pressure is still at normal levels, praise God. I will continue monitoring things. Maybe I've already lost enough weight and no longer need them?!?!? The weight is pretty much falling off me right now because I have been on Clear Liquids only since April 21. I am REAL sick of jello.. Haven't been too hungry but have been craving foods the last couple of days. Just trying to keep busy... I have one more week of clear liquids. This did NOT include any Protein Drinks at all. Lastly, I have a question. I suffer a stabbing pain below my left breast when I take deep breaths, get jostled or move wrong way. I am assuming this is my bad trying to heal on my stomach, right?

Am post op 5 days and am feeling pretty good. I am sore, but understandably. Low energy, but again understandable. I am on all Clear Liquids for another week. So far I have been on clear liquids 2 1/2 weeks. I am excited for my progress!!! I lost 17 lbs pre-op. 5 more pounds down since surgery! I looked at upcoming goals for myself. 10 more pounds and I would no longer even qualify for the surgery! 35 more pounds down I will no longer be obese! 30 more pounds from there, I will no longer be overweight. 20 pounds beyond that, I will hit my goal! Life is good!!!!

Had my surgery a couple of days ago and feeling fair. Still battling gas pains from the gas they used and also having intestinal gas. I have to be careful when I pass gas because I have had a few accidents (liquids in, liquids out). Not real hungry. I had list 17 lbs on my pre-op diet but feeling pretty bloated so not even going to get on scales for a bit. Very encouraged though....

Thanks a lot for the advise everyone. Day 1 clear liquid fast down with no problems. Before I went to bed last night I prayed and prayed for very little hunger with this fast and today was fine. Thank you God! Now 9 more days to go! Taking it one day (or moment if necessary) at a time.... Feeling positive at this point!

My doctor wants me on a week long CLEAR liquid diet a week before surgery and two weeks after. That would not include Protein Shakes. I am concerned about excess hunger and what a lack of Protein for that long will do to my body. Did anyone else have this same diet? Is it probable that I missed something at my last appointment and therefore need to call him? A little worried I'm going to screw this up....

Tomorrow I will start my liquid diet
