Smiley' date=' I think this is probably normal. I had my surgery yesterday and feel like I have a ton of mucus in my throat. It hurts too bad to cough so there's really no place I can make it go. Let me know if yours clears up in the next couple of days. I'd like something to look forward to, lol.[/quote']

Hello Amy, glad u r back and hope u feel better.....

Thanks, Desoto. I'm doing better, but this really hurts. I have a pretty good pain tolerance and this is insane. I can barely get up out of a bed, the couch, the toilet. But it's getting easier with each passing day. And I still believe this is going to be WORTH it, lol.

The gas pains can be bad. Get some Gas-X strips, they will help.

This is one area where being a man makes this easier. Men usually don't care about gas. Women will hold it for days so as not to embarass themselves. Let it go...you will feel better. LOL

I'm out of surgery and at home in bed. I'm in so much pain. It hurts to do anything. I feel like in post op they were pushing me our the door. I literally just open my eyes and they were getting me dressed. She gave me 50mg of Demerol and told me to get up. I couldn't walk straight nor hold myself up for X-ray. I'm being bitchy now I'm going back to sleep y'all

Very good, thank you. My smarter half had be up and around most of the day today. Walked around costco and did some shopping. It wasn't difficult walking past the people hawking samples. I find it hard to believe that the last time I put a piece of solid food in my mouth was 5 days ago and I'm not hungry nor do I have any cravings. Honestly, it is a strange feeling.

As for pain from the incisions. Don't be afraid, they only last a couple of days. You will do fine.

I've often had this trouble after surgery. Try to pee often. Don't let the discomfort get so severe that you can't take it anymore. Call the surgeon and let him know. He will know what to do. Hope all works out.

Ok. I WAY over indulged today and it wasn't even the thought of surgery next week. Just no control. Prolly had enough calories for three days. Now I'm not worried about eating right after surgery. If I don't feel good food has no appeal. But now I'm getting anxious about when I feel better and eating too much. Anyone feeling anxious about that?

      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.
