No antibiotics... They gave me like 3 full bags in the hospital . I stayed overnight. I'm on liquid pain meds and nausea meds.

I haven't experienced that yet . I've been passing the gas by walking as much as I can. I just took my pain meds. I this it's all kicking in now. I've been on my liquid diet. It's a lil hard to get all my broth down .

Day 2 Post Op

Pain meds was a life saver ! I slept and woke up and walked through the night . I don't have an appetite at all. But I have to eat something. I can't get too much down. One piece of advice is to sip not gulp!!!!!

Gas is not excruciating but it's there... I'm just walking walking walking ! Like they said !

Thank you! I'm just ready for the soreness to go away and I can start walking in the gym. I'm still a bit confused on my diet . I'm getting a long quite well. Getting out of the bed by myself and fixing my own food. I am going thru an emotional ride hoping that I have as much success as the other people...

I just realized making my own sugar free Jello is better than store bought ready made .

Did you have to get staples?

      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.
