Wow. I had trouble peeing too. Glad I'm not alone. I know I need to get up more put the Percocet and phenegran knock me out! To the veterans. How long did it take you to feel normal again ?.

It took me about a week before I was feeling "normal" but I still had low energy because of the small amount of calories I wss consuming.

Hi Everyone, I am on postop Day 4 and I started cooking. I cannot stand the canned Soups anymore. Today I made a delicious yellow split pea Soup (only salt and pepper added) then pureed it and added Water to make it thinner. Tomorrow will be lentil soup day. My imagination started to go wild: creamy potato leek soup, sweet potato soup, cauliflower soup, you name it... :) I want real food!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody feel the same way?

Where do you live? I'm coming over for soup!! I'll bring the sf popsicles for dessert.

I would probably wrestle a piece of bread away from a screaming, hungry baby right about now. I'm not afraid to admit it.

Too funny Beanie08...my biggest weakness is bread, pastas & chips & dips. I am still bloated & full of gas... Been trying to walk but that's doesn't help. Haven't been hungry well a little but not like when I was on my preop diet. I'm on my 2nd bottle of pain meds today & my stomach is scratching like crazy!!

I haven't been able to keep up with the 90gms of Protein a day. I'm just not hungry although i do keep sipping on Water all day. As far a cream soups.. What kind should I buy? What's best and tasteful? How about the non fat yogurt?

I liked one Soup so far, that was Latin style black been soup (has cilantro flavor and is mildly spicy. Butternut squash was not good for me, was slightly sweet. This is the point when I gave up and started to make my own Soups today:) I have not tried Tomato yet.

I am sorry for the news Areli! Here they let us be on a full liquid diet after day 2. Only day one was clear liquid (broth, tee etc).

Hey ladies, seems like you are all doing well? I will def fly accross the world to come get some of that soup! I do not allow myself in the kitchen as I fear I might just lick everything that's tasty, which is everything at this moment.

Anyways wanted to ask whether anyone 'feels' the band. I'm either having suvere hunger pains or this thing is scratching on the inside!

Hi Binx,

The Soup is awaiting in Pennsylvania :)

I can only feel my port, not the band. I hope I will never feel the band, actually.

The big news was yesterday that I was able to roll on my side at night (both directions).

I also can feel my port, not my band. I'm guessing the itching is from healing. Anyone else get really hungry but is just too lazy/sick of the options to eat? How many calories a day are you all getting? I'm still less than 400/day

Hey ladies. I am DEFINITELY hungry but I'm allowed to eat "mushies" and advance as tolerated. The most that I have eaten is tuna! Getting pretty tired of it. Thinking about a baked potato today!!! I slept in the bed last night and I've actually burped a few times today! I'm super excited!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
