Hang in there tyvette04. Don't let the current pain fog your thought process. No mistake made. Your future's looking brighter already. Think of something positive or someone that makes you feel good about yourself. I've had several surgeries (motorcycle accidents) and the pain of the accident was worse than the surgery, but that was so long ago I don't even remember the pain. I came out alright, just walk funny! LOL :)

Tell them to give you more pain meds. You shouldn't be in this much pain.

As for regret, that shall pass. You are miserable right now but things will get better. :)

Oh I did! It was awful! I kept on my pain meds and walked a little every few hours. Trust me it will get better. Just think of how awesome you will feel after the weight comes off. I'm now three weeks post op and down about 30 lbs. I don't regret it one bit ( although I did doubt it when I was in your shoes).

You're in the very worst part of the post op pain. Insist on enough pain meds... you don;t need to be a hero, just comfortable. Better living through chemistry, right? :P I'm not trying to be funny at your expense. You will be dramatically better by tomorrow and even better the day after that. Hang in there, you'll be fine.

I felt horrible from the time I got home to about day 3. Now (4 weeks later) I am all back to normal, except the eating part. I am down 25 lbs, give it time and you will not regret. Pop some pain pills. I hope you feel better soon.

      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.
