The main incision takes about 14 days to heal. The best thing to do to is walk around as much as possible! Make sure you stay hydrated! I am 5 months out and feel amazing. It gets easier, I promise you!

Hi mitz I'm doing better each day and today I had my first bowel movement. It's actually funny how I feel so close to everyone on here that I keep talking about passing gas and bowel movements lol. It is a difficult process and don't let anyone tell you differently. Just keep your goal in mind and you will do fine.

I'm suppose to get the surgery done with robotics; is that how you was done or was it done the old way?

Lego how are you doing with fluids ? Today I had 3 oz of orange sugar free Jello 3oz beef broth and 3 oz chicken broth for dinner. Water was making me feel nausea but I've been getting my water in by sucking on ice cubes

I could only tolerate water and pop cycles at first, Your body will let you know when it is safe to drink more. I am now starting on reduced fat cream Soups, milk and broth. I am trying to maintain my Protein levels. Im still weak because I know I have not consumed enough protein.

      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.
