I am 1wk post op today. But I am so sore and literally all of my insides feel like they are in a vice. I quit taking the rx pain meds on Thursday but had to take some today. I am a Realtor so I did go back to work bit have been taking it really slow. Like to sit down or bend over to get something is painful. Is this normal or is something up?

It is normal for the most part. Give it a good two weeks. You'll have good days and bad days, but eventually it all subsides and before you know it things start to come together and you feel better with each days passing. Take it easy, take it slow and don't do any heavy lifting or strenuous work. Patience will be your toughest battle. Once you master that, life gets much easier.

I had surgery this afternoon holy cow I am sore. Thank god my mom is here. She's doing everything from adjusting me on the bed and pulling my pants up after I pee. I feel so helpless!! I was gonna try to not use the RX but that's a joke, just took it!

Being sore is normal.. Having someone rummage around your insides is going to be sore.. I was up and about walking/waddling really fast but did do too much too soon and ended up exhausted.. Try to take it a little easy..you still have to heal.. :)

      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.
