Yesterday was the first day of my new life. I was in a lot of pain yesterday, today seems to be much better. I had a hernia repair also. I am very excited to be starting this new chapter in my life. To everyone else who had surgery yesterday as well. Congrats and I hope all is well. :D

I had my surgery on 4/5 also. It was pretty fast; I received the call Friday afternoon that my insurance approved me, and before I knew it I was waking up from surgery. I'm still very sore. Are you having any trouble getting up and down? That's the worst for me.

Hope to hear from you soon. It's nice knowing that there is someone on the same timeline as me.

Congrats! I am sore also. But mostly where they repaired the hernia I had. Getting up and down is not bothering me as much as the gas pains. I am finding that if I get up and walk around I feel much better. We should feel better soon. :)

Mine was also on the 5th. I've still got a lot of soreness, but seems to be getting better every few hours. Getting in and out of bed is the worst! I think I'm ready for the soft food stage this morning, I'm going to try some yogurt.

Congrats to everyone who has had surgery this week!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
