Can someone tell me what to expect as far as pain the day after and then the next few? I'm getting nervous about what I'm going to do with my dogs! I have 2 small (who will be ok, they can use pee pads) - but I'm fostering 2 golden retrievers who get kenneled and go outside alot when I'm home. I'm hoping I'm not so sore that I can't get up to feed them or let them out.

Other than that, I'm not too anxious. Up until 3/23 I will eat like it's my last supper!

Researching liquid and puree foods to go shopping.

Thanks!

I had nausea from the antibiotic they gave me which made the pain probably seem worse. It was the gas pain everyone talks about. They kept telling me to walk and walk but the hospital I was in was so small there wasn't any where to go. I would just get up and walk in my room. I am 5 days post op and I am taking the pain medication 2-3 times a day. It doesn't hurt when I am just sitting or laying. It's hurts when I drink too fast I will get a little gas bubble. Be careful with your tummy and don't let the dogs jump up on you. Good luck with your journey.

      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?

      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.
