NOt feeling so hot!!!
Just wanted to update my friends 
Today is day 2 of my liquid diet. Normally I am a night owl and go to bed around 2am, i have for a few years now, let me tell you, not sure if it was the liquid diet or what, but I was completely wiped out last night, fell asleep on the couch and went to bed at 8:30..THIS is SO not normal for me especially since I have my shows on!
So I wake up at 4:30am with excruciating pain in the back of my neck going to my left shoulder blade. It took me at least 5 minutes to roll over in bed ~ i woke my hubby up to massage it out!! Tried to go back to sleep, it hurt too much. I started to feel very nauseous from the pain so i decide to take a percocet that I had left over from my csection with my daughter, within minutes i broke into a massive sweat and flew to the bathroom, my ears and neck were on fire!! I feel better after getting up the water i had in my tummy..cuz lord knows there was nothing else there. I fall asleep for about an hour and wake soaked in sweat and run to the bathroom again to get sick, every bit of color there was washed out of my face!! Well a little bit later i finally get comfortable in bed to where i can't feel the pain and fall asleep and wake up with a horrible headache and it still lingers....So i guess Im wondering, does this sound like it may have happened because i have a pulled muscle in my back and i got sick from the pain of it OR could my percocet have been bad and expired OR was it because i took the percocet on an empty stomach?? My neck still hurts, but my headache is giving it a run for it's money!!
SO this is why i have not been on today to make any posts!! I not feeling so hot today!!
I am going to take another nap!! All I want to do is sleep, i think this optifast crap has zapped me of any energy I might have!! Thanks for listening! Love yall!

Im guessing the percocet on an empty stomach - make sure you are drinking everything thats required on the liquid diet - doing all the shakes and getting all the water!! If you have a headache increase your fluids by 2-4 glasses and that should help!

I am with Jenn... I am guessing the Percocet on the empty tummy..
The first three days of the liquid diet are the worst.. and my doc actually let me have green salads with FF/SF dressing. That helped when I needed to chew or have some solids. What can you have?
324/180/149 - 31 pounds below goal!!!

I hate you feel bad. Boy it sounds pretty rough. poor thing. Like Jennifer said...drink all the water you can. It will help tremendously. You are in the worst part possible now. It will get better... promise!!

THIS IS MY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
(((Jami))) all the elements, no food and then the Percocet is a bad combo! I cannot take drugs on a empty stomach and thats why when I did my swallow test plus the morphine I got sick as a dog the second day in the hospital. I really hope you feel better and if there is anything I can do to help you let me know!!! I hope you feel better soon and take care.

aw Jami, I'm sorry you're having a hard time of it. I agree with the others...I'm betting the pill on an empty stomach did a number on you.
My surgeon required a 2 week liquid diet too...the first 3-4 days were the absolute worst. I cheated twice. Oh well.
To me, that liquid pre-op diet was just plain evil. LOL I did lose weight for the first time in a long time, but man did it SUCK!! You'll get through it. Just keep telling yourself it's all going to be worth it in the end. It's important to shrink your liver before the surgery, so just keep thinking of the positive outcome from its evilness. 
Are you allowed to have any kind of protein drinks you want? I really liked the chocolate caramel from GNC in the beginning.
I hope you're feeling better soon!

Hey ladies!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH for your words of encouragement!! That is why i posted today, is because i was feeling horrible and needed some motivation!! 
As far as I know this is ALL I can have!! I purchased 10 boxes of Optifast stuff from the hospital pharmacy 4 chocolate ~ 4 strawberry & 2 chicken (those are actually tolerable & that is my supper :() and it is literally 3/4 of a cup of water mixed with this powder, that is it!!!! 5 times a day
Isnt that inhumane?? LOL
I am feeling better, my neck still hurts pretty bad & i had a migrane with me most of the day, i think that was from the strain of getting so sick earlier!! But i took a nap at 4:30 and woke up at 6:30 to the most YUMMY smell ever!!!! OMG my hubby was cooking the kids dinner and I knew i could not go downstairs because it would be complete torture...so i bury my head under the blankets to block the smell..LOL and fall back asleep!! I later asked him what in the world he cooked .. he said "tuna helper" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! That stuff smelled soooooo good....
I just keep telling myself it will get better, I know it will be a while, but it can't be this bad forever!! I guess the thing is, after surgery, I know i won't feel like eating anything and the 2ozs. that we do get, I will be lucky to get that down!! BUT I am still a fat girl with a nice healthy size tummy and this fat girl needs some food...LOL And the sad thing is, I am a comfort food person and as of now, I need food to comfort me and I don't know where to turn I guess I knew this week or 2 weeks were coming, but i didn't realize how hard it would be!! I want to thank you again for listening to me and thank you for your support!! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!

My surgeon said I could have as many protein shakes as I wanted, along with as much water as I could drink. He told me to drink a shake when I felt hungry. I would just call them to find out. :)
As far as the hunger and comfort food eating goes, the one thing you will discover is that this surgery is not a cure for that type of eating. I thought it would just take away my desire to eat (and it does a little in the beginning,) but after your stomach has healed and you can start eating regular food again, you will find that it does not. Heck, I don't even have a sensitivity to sugar. blah! I have to be very careful about the choices I make, because I can truly eat whatever I want...just not as much. Anyway, I would try to get rid of as much "junk" food in the house as you can. If it's not there, you can't eat it...and your husband doesn't need to be eating it anyway. LOL
It does get better. Hang in there.
