Recommended Posts

Is everybody home from the hospital yet? I am home and everything is going well. I drink 1 oz every 15 minutes. Sometimes it hurts when I take the other half oz.

My stomach muscles aren't as painful as I thought they would be do that's a plus. I am still having mild gas pains in my back, shoulders and chest.

Oh no! Sorry to hear. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Don't be afraid to ask for strong pain meds. If you need them, this is your chance to get hem because the prescriptions they send us home with are not as powerful.

I am SLEEVED! Wow, can't believe it is over and I am home :) I was so,so,so worried before the procedure but I am very fortunate, pain is mild, keeping fluids down, no nausea since I have been out of recovery...so thankful that everything went well...glad to hear most of you are doing well...Christina - I hope you are doing better real soon! I was not afraid to ask for pain meds even if it was to help me sleep better! Dr said to take a walk for as long as I could every two hours and sip, sip, sip.

So, this is starting my 4th day and I am allowed to go to the bariatric fluids from the clear fluids. I am looking forward to a Protein Shake and hoping it sits well in my new tummy :) I feel very blessed that everything has gone so smoothly so far. Yesterday I tried to go without pain killers all day but around 7 in the evening I thought that was enough...so I took the liquid percocet and had a good night's sleep. Even was able to go to church today. Hoping everyone else is doing well...

Doing pretty good.. Getting a little stronger & more energy each day. No pain med needed since first day after leaving hospital. Honestly just sick & tired of BROTH!!!! Sadly, I'll be glad to drink Protein Drinks & yogurt (gross!!) -- 2 days left of this clear liquid fun!! Struggle to get required fluids (min 60 oz) each day but trying to drink as much as I can--- down 5 lbs since surgery--

      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.
