I had my surgery on monday and when I woke up I was in so much pain. I asked myself why did you do this?? Once my pain medicine started I stayed asleep most of the time but when I was awake I started throwing up. It was TERRIBLE. I guess my body was not liking the pain meds. I came home yesterday and the 2nd day was soo much better than the first. My bp was elevated last night which have me a headache and I'm soo ready to lose some weight so it will go down permanently. I know everyone's experience is different. I am finding it hard to get my Protein in. I can't feel any of my incisions except the large one on my right side. It really does get better each day.

congrats I wish u a speedy recovery

I had surgery 6/25. Yesterday I drank 2 oz of Protein and was so "stuffed" it was uncomfortable so now I am only drinking one ounce per hour of the protein. The test is crystal light. I am feeling ok but pain is sort of a problem with my big incision. Like others my smaller ones are fine.

Good luck to today's sleevers :D will see you on the sleeved side!

      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.
