I had my surgery june 10 I'm three days post op and I must admit the beginning was a struggle I feel much better now still haven't been able to actually eat anything but I'm trying to stay hydrated which is extremely hard because I don't want to eat or drink anything! I'm really bloated. I'm using the pain meds often I need them. I can't wait to be myself again.

I think my day 3 was the day I seriously doubted my decision but that only lasted a day. I'm 6 months out and extremely happy! Drink drink drink! It gets easier

I thought the first week sucked. BUT after that it got better and better. I'm now 6 weeks out and I have lost 36 lbs. This surgery will pay off, all of us have gone through buyers remorse. Just listen to your doc, exercise and follow the food rules to allow your new tummy to heal. You will do great!

My surgery was the same day- June 10th. I'm really hoping it gets better! I am having lots of incision pain in one spot and the left shoulder gas pain is keeping me up at night. Praying for relief!

If your back is killing you you may be dehydrated. That is a sign. I'd call your doc to be safe!!

Try standing for a while holding onto something to keep the circulation going. It's day 2 post op for me and I'm sore. I have a little shoulder pain from gas and when I drink I can feel it going down. Has anyone else experienced the weird sensation when drinking?

      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.
