I am 8 days post op and the last two days have been the worst since I have been home. The hunger pains are killer, but what is worse is the fact that I haven't slept well since I have been home.  Sunday i pull my drainage tube (not all the way out) far enough for me to freak out and had to take the pain pills they prescribed. I don't do well with narcotics so I was feeling out of it. After a 1hr nap I went for a walk with my dad and that took too much out of me. I had entended on going to class yesterday but I woke up sick and drained. Then the hunger pains kicked in and the chicken broth had me in the bathroom for a while. Today wasn't much better.  I woke up feeling better until I stood up and realized that I haven't been getting enough water so I took the nausea pills that took almost a hour to work and the same bowel situation as yesterday except today I didn't have the chicken broth. I still feel like crap.  Awe well this crap will be over soon, hopefully. Until then I will tough it out and try to get in as much fluid as possible. The only problem will be the hunger pains. At least I can laugh without it hurting really bad.

I started my 4 week pre-op OPTIFAST today. I can handle the shakes, but the chicken soup is horrible I need to find a way to torture myself and get through my 4 boxes (7 supplements each) by the end of the week.  I can handle the berry/yogurt bars but I absolutely love the chocolate and strawberry shakes especially with half a pack or raspberry ice Crystal Light. Vanilla is okay, but not my first choice.
