That's great to hear.. This first little bit is a pain to get through but it's so worth it! Shout if you need any advice or anything.. Not that I'm a pro!! Bed is the best place to be :)

Had my surgery 18 September. Everything went well although I seemed to spend a long time in the recovery room. Thursday was a day from hell. Couldn't get a needle in to my veins correctly with the result I didn't get enough pain relief. Finally sorted out Thursday afternoon. Haven't really suffered too much from the gas as have been in and out of my bed as I have been unable to sleep. Friday morning went for my barium meal and that was ok. Discharged back to my hotel. Nurse came to hotel on Saturday morning, gave me my shot, checked my wounds and I was free to go. Flew back to Scotland yesterday afternoon, had 5 tablespoons of Soup and finally slept in my own bed. Got up this morning and I'm feeling on top of the world. Have put a washing on and I'm sipping Water. Hope you're feeling better Aggie 1234.

Hi looby Lou. Glad to hear your feeling better. I'm feeling worse than yesterday. Back pain is out of this world. Never suffered so much. I'm wondering if it's gas or it really is back pain or is it because I've not moved around alot

Take your pain killers if you have.. I was like a zombie for nearly two weeks.. I had so much pain heaving my large body around that I couldn't say for sure if I experienced back pain!! That gas is not a great feeling, I felt it mostly near my shoulders, but it could be transferred to your back.. Also watch kidneys :) hope you feel better, don't let the pain get you down!! Rest, relax, recouperate :)

      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.
