I had my surgery on November 23, 2012 in Plano at the new Victory Healthcare Center. What type of progress in terms of physical activity, sleeping on my side, driving, etc... Should I be experiencing at 6 days post op? And I didn't weigh the morning of surgery, so I can't pinpoint exactly how much weight I have lost until my 2 week post op. Anyone else have a laproscopic incision in your belly button?

I don't, they made 6 small incisions and they have pretty much gone away.The first two weeks i could sleep on anything but my side.I would sleep on the couch with my back to the couch and on my side.When i diff sleep in my bed again i woke up on my stomach and wad in alot of pain.Is funny because when i was overweighti could only sleep on my stomach and now 167lbs later i can't sleep on my stomach at all.

I assume you mean Oct. 23. If so that's when I had mine. I'm losing about .5-2 lbs per day. I sleep on my side and cannot sleep on my stomach so I guess everyone is different.

I start full liquids tomorrow. I'm excited for new flavors but also nervous about the taste, how my stomach will handle it and if I'll keep losing.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences! It is so difficult not knowing what to expect. Yes, surgery was 10/23/2012. Have lost 34 pounds, but seems to be slowing down. I am strictly following all of the rules, and I hope I do not stall at this point. Some foods I have added during this soft solid stage makes my stomach feel awful...don't know what to eat, so I end up back to Soup.< /p>

      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.
