I walked the day of my surgery. Surgery was done about 8 and my 1st walk was about 4ish? I walked several times through the night. I even had them take my cath out since I was up and walking. I truly think this helped me as I was discharged a day early. Goodluck

Hey guys! Surgery went well. Very groggy and have little to no pain just some discomfort. So far the only issue is that I can't pee. :(

try to walk and just seat on the toilet seat and just relax nothing else and you will be able to start. I had that problem after my c-section.

It took my bladder a day to wake up from anesthesia. They cathed me 2x but it wasn't too bad.

I slept on my side last night. But I had my small pillow to put over my stomach and another pillow behind me to kind of prop me up. I did fine. My left side is still a little sore where the drainage tube was at. It was the weirdest feeling when she pulled the drainage tube out.

I haven't been walking or sipping quite as much as I should be, but I'm working on it. I've had 2 bites of Jello today. I still have a little gas, but not bad at all.

Hope everyone is doing well!

      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.
