I was sleeve on 12/17 and the first three days were the hardest. Gas pain do go away with time. I can now get my 64 oz of Water and today I can start stage 2 purée food. So, be patient, have the right attitude, sleep a lot, sip,sip,sip liquids and in couple more days you will be feeling much better. Merry Christmas and be bless that you got your best gift ever a new start in life.

Congrats and Merry Christmas,

I am 7 days post op. This is also the very first time that I am reaching out to a support group. Today is actually going to be very hard for me. Last night my pain meds ran out and I feel incision site. I suppose as I type this, I realize the pain is not excrutiating but rather discomfortable and annoying, Mainly, because I have to concertrate on sipping, breathing, and walking. I also have very bad dry cough. Both of these combined makes resting very difficult. Other than those two things, everything is healing beautifully.

Is there a drug store open near you on xmas? Children's liquid tylenol might provide some relief until you can visit your doctor

      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.
