At my psychologist visit, she said to warn those who would be helping me post-op, that I would be miserable and regret my decision... but that it would only last a day or two. It will get better! Hang in there.

Hi, My sleeve surgery was on Monday, I went into it not knowing if I was getting the bypass or sleeve. I had a lapband that failed so there was a lot of scar tissue

Oh you guys, I'm so sorry you are having a bad time right now. I swear to you all it does get better. The day I had surgery I was a superstar, I felt great, the next day was the worst for me. Every day is better than the day before and just try to walk when you can, ask for antinausea medication, take sips, ask for med cups to sip out of and try to find something that calms and cools your tummy. I like bigelow decaff peppermint tea.

I was in the hospital for 5 days and I had some complications during surgery. I just kept reminding myself that each day will be better than the day before and it was.

My prayers are with you all.

i had my surgery this past monday. i was up and moving and walking down the hospital hallways that evening (i have a high tollerance for pain i guess) and i was released the next day after the leak test.

i must say, the second day was a b***h. hard to move around, pain, temp was at 99 degrees F and it was hard to drink an ounce of Water every 15 minutes. today is friday and i feel almost 100% better. just make sure you walk around and use your pain and nausea meds that you were given. most importantly, WALK WALK WALK. by the 3rd day, it'll be easier to drink and hold liquids down. you will see a difference.

in the end, it is worth it. when i woke up the second day, i was thinking, what have i done? its the 4th day for me and i dont regret this decision at all!

hang in there. we are all here for ya!

I just can't stay awake. I'm nowhere near my Fluid allowance and feeling really weak. Can feel every single sip going in. Can't do more than three in a row. I feel thirsty enought to down a pint in one go but I know it won't happen. The pain is more discomfort than anything. Just had a little walk in the garden and burped for England which hurts a bit. Dissapointed to only be a pound lighter.

      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.
