Congratulations!!! Super close! How is your pre op diet going? My pre-op diet did not go so well. I really only got a good week in instead of two. When I buckled down, I felt sick. But I got through it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes I'm on liquids until day 16 *sigh* I'm still trial and error with everything so far the only things I like are sf pudding, fudgesicles, and my crystal light, still trying to find a Protein powder I like because as of now I use GENEPRO but don't know if I should trust it has 30 grams or not. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My doctor's office recommended a product called unjury. You have to order it from their website, but they deliver quickly. I like them because they have a sample pack for about $21, and you get 2 packets each of their Protein shakes, 2 of their chicken broth, and 2 unflavored. The kit also comes with a mixing plastic tumbler and a thermometer. This way I can try it inexpensively. So far, I've tried the soup and it was good! Just a recommendation.

I had mine on the 23rd also. I am having a problem getting my liquids in. I seem too be ravenous, and when I drink a little Water or water w/crystal light, I get full right away. I've been mainly eating SF popsicles and sf Jello. I try to sip all day, but it is a struggle. I think it will get better though. One day at a time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@sleevedviolet - unfortunately, I haven't been able to tolerate chicken broth, so I've only been able to eat beef broth. I would like to try something other than chicken or beef. I'm on day 4 of 14. Today is the first day I've had any broth because I was trying to stick with chicken, but I was starting to get sick. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Misty, I had my surgery on 1/23/17. I'd be happy to share my journey with you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck, Charisma! I'm sure you'll do just fine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 3 days post-surgery. I have not suffered with gas pains, our pain from my incisions. I've just been sore, but it is manageable. I did stay in the hospital overnight, and had the leak test the following morning. Once I was cleared from the leak test, I was given the okay for Clear liquids, but did not have much of an appetite. When the NUT came by to check on me, she said that was perfectly normal. I feel recovery has been smooth so far, just trying to get in all of my liquids. I have hunger pains, but I'm not hungry for anything in particular. I just hope things to go smoothly! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I planned to take off for a week. However, during my final consult before surgery, my surgeon said that he gives patients 4-6 weeks, although they could possibly go back to work earlier. He said it's not so much the pain, but that patients have a hard time adjusting to how they have to eat post-surgery. Fortunately, I have incredible support from my leadership, so I'll be off for a week, and plan on teleworking for 3 weeks. I am currently 3 days post-op as of 1/26/17. We'll see how it goes.

I was told right before my surgery that the chest pains were common, and that it would be gas. I am 2 days post. Although I have not experienced it, I have had quite a bit of nauceousness. I will be happy when this subsides. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
