I was taking the kids out for Halloween fun today. I think I may have over did it cuz now I'm in pain. I ate Soup before & sip Water and walk, no heavy lifting. I don't understand why I am in pain. I am 5 days post op.

you might have over done it, how far did you walk? Five days is not to early to walk around the block then build from there if you are ok. Hugs I hope you feel better soon if not call the doctor.

You're in pain because you're only 5 days post op. It's going to be 4-8 weeks before your body has fully recovered inside and out. At only 5 days post op, everything is still very wounded and raw.

You have to take it easy and give your body time to heal.

Yes, Soup is on my diet but really thin clear Soups. You were right lassie, I did over do it yesterday. It was a lot of walking. First I went to my child's soccer game then we went to a carnaval at the glacier. Then we went to another Halloween carnival at school and then took my oldest to her Halloween dance at her school. And topped it off with some last minute shopping and got home after 8 pm. When I got home I took my pain meds and went right to bed.

I am up this morning sipping on coffee thinking, "Why did I do that to myself".

Thank you friends. I feel much better today.

      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.
