I had surgery Monday too. The first few days home were rough, but manageble. I havnt been able to tolerate too much more the Clear liquids. Today I did manage some pudding and a little Protein. I just keep the goal line in sight when I feel bad. It does hurt to drink so I just take tiny sips as often as I can. It is a process to go through, but I know I will come out better and stronger in the long run!

I keep reading where people were fine after day 2 or 3...I just don't get it. I am still having a lot of pain. I keep thinking the more I sleep, the faster it will be over.

I am so sorry. This is day 3 post op for me, and I too am not feeling as well as I thought I would. I guess the good news is I am finally keeping down Clear Liquids, but not anything else. I just keep hoping its like childbirth where the reward will be so great in the end that we will forget how miserable this was.

I am so sorry your feeling bad! What is your Doctor saying? What are you taking for the nausea? If you can get the throwing up under control, you'll rest better, and may help with the pain. Remember, small sips, if your drinking cold drinks, switch to warm/hot. Good luck, Hugs and prayers coming your way!

I'm ten days post-op. I found that taking tiny sips of room temperature or warm clear liquids helped a great deal in the beginning. Taking anything bigger than a sip made my gut feel like it was going to split, the pain was so bad. So, I just sipped, sipped, sipped all day long. I'm doing well now and can take in more.

Call your doctor. It might help you if you could get some anti-nausea medication.

Look we will all have a little pain. This is what we signed up for. I love this site. We can all feel each others pain. I am 8 days out. And walking walking walking. It's helps. With the pain. Also try to change up your liquids. And take a nice warm shower. Also it doesn't hurt to ask your partner to rub your legs and feet. But we are all here for each other

Tabby and others,

Hopefully your docs sent you home with pain meds (liquid). If not, do request something and know it is okay to use it. Get rest and sip, walk, sip. Don't worry about Protein, just make sure you get your fluids in. Dehydration sets in quickly and will make you nauseous. If you are real uncomfortable always best to listen to your body and either all your surgeons office or go to ER. you may not be comfortable laying flat either...get pillows for your tummy and side.

Best to you.

I'm feeling much better today, too. Actually going to venture out and visit some people. Seems like I'm really over the hump now. Thank goodness!

      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.
