Best of luck to you!

I had surgery yesterday and I'm doing great--hardly any pain. The best advice I was given is to get up and start walking as soon as you can after surgery. It helps the anesthesia wear off and the anesthesia can cause nausea if it stays in your system too long. Walking also helps get rid of the gas that they pump in to your abdomen to perform the surgery (which was my greatest source of discomfort, so I walked a lot and don't feel it at all anymore) and helps prevent blood clots.

You'll do fine. Just walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. It really makes a difference. Have a positive attitude and you're halfway there :) I'm three weeks out and doing great. See you on the other side!

      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.
