Was just done Monday. Took some pain meds yesterday but feel better today. Stomach still hurts and I am pretty sore but I'm sure in time it will get better. Not easy drinkingso much but I am mixing 1/2 gatoraid and 1/2 Isopure in a 20 ounce bottle and driking it over about 4 hours. Feel bloated. don't think I am up to driving but I do have my follow up tomorrow so we shall see. glad to hear you're doing well.

So glad you are doing well Pammie. I am one week out today and it just seems to get a little better every day. One day at a time. So exciting to be on the healing side.

I am one week out and just had my postoperative appointment and talked about the "bloating type feeling" and they said that is normal to have that type of swelling feeling as you are given the fluids during and after surgery and it is your body healing itself. It does get better and glad you are doing well.

      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.
