I'm 13 days post op and everyday gets a little easier. I went without chest pain for 4 days then it hit me a little bit yesterday. How are you doing?

Go to a mall and walk for a few hours (2-3 hours top). You will feel so much better once you get home.

I totally got the same thing too and regretted the surgery the first week or two. When everyone tells you it gets easier there telling the truth. I'm almost four weeks out and I feel amazing compared to the first couple weeks. If you can swallow pills I used the extra strength gas pills, the gas strips are good but half the meds as you can get in the pills. I'm still taking them daily because of the gas, but they help! Walking every hour for 15 min will help too! Good luck girl, feeling better is right around the corner!

Thank you...IM trying to stay positive. Today I just miss the feeling biting into some food. Every day It gets better...or maybe IM just dealing with it all a little better than the day before but IM hanging in there. Have you been missing certain foods? what do you do when you crave for certain things?

      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.
