My surgery was last week as well. I just walked about a quarter to a third of a mile and I am pooped. In fact I'm laying down resting as I type this. I am struggling to get my liquids in. (My nut puts us on full liquids as soon as we get home). I think it's all normal. If you are staying on top of your pain, walking and resting every few hours and staying hydrated. You ARE doing everything you can- we have to give ourselves time to heal.

I had surgery 5 days ago & I'm so over this incision pain. I walk every hour just to be mobile and to get off my butt bone because it hurts like hell. I drink lots of Water & crystal light and eat more Jello than the law allow. I started drinking carnation essentials with skim milk and I love it. I'm looking forward to eating real food again.

Remember first few days are worst. By day 5 you will progressively start feeling better. You must get your liquids in! I thought I was hungry too but finding most of the time it is I'm my head or tooth acid in stomach. Hang in there. I am 6 weeks out and down almost 30lbs but not ravenous like I used to be. Still get hungry. Still have cravings. It will all be ok

      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.
