Great job, just make sure get up and walk around a lot, it helps with the gas (and pains if you get them from the gas, my neck and left shoulder hurt when I got surgery). But it gets better!

Thanks everyone!!!! I've been getting up as much as possible but if I'm up for too long I feel a little sick. Doctor said this is normal for the first day or so, so I hope it goes away quickly. Other than that no complaints! Hopefully my pain stats like this and does not get worse but only time will tell!!

Congrats to all of you! Follow your post op diet the best u can because now your body needs to heal. Rest, walk in small amounts as often as u can, sip, sip, sip as much as u can all day. You may feel bloated for a couple weeks and a little more sore if u had hernia repair. Don't worry about losing weight now. You are healing, but it will come off!

      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.
