I had my surgery last Friday (a week ago) and went to my follow up today, lost 10lbs!! OMG! I cant believe it. My surgery went very well, no complications, first few days are a little tough, I came home Monday and every day feel better and better. Today I actually feel great, went shopping, etc. No regrets at all. The first week is a bit hard trying to get in all the liquids but it went by really fast. GOOD LUCK ON MONDAY. My surgery day weight was 206, was 196 today!

Well alot of what to expect depends on your surgeon and how he believes aftercare should be. You have to remember we all have different pain levels but in my opinion and based on my surgery, you will wake up after you get to your room. you'll have soreness like you did alot of exercises..like maybe a 500 situps. You will walk within 4 hrs and be given Clear Liquids.I did use the pain meds the first 12 hrs. I slept alot,walked alot and sipped alot, 24 hrs after surgery I was released to come home. I rode 2 hrs to get home and was tired but by the 2nd day home I showered dressed and went to Walmart with hubby. I tried to drink 2 oz eery 15 minutes usually room temp or lukewarm felt better than icy cold. Good Luck and what a nice Valentine! Let us know your doing ok.

      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.
