I was bloated for about a week after my surgery. I am 11 days post-op and I feel completely back to normal now.

Yep, we all do, I think. It's from all the IV Fluid and (mostly) the CO2 gas added to your abdomen.I'm a week and a day out and it is better.

I'm 10 days out...and bloated still. Losing very little weight also. However, I have been measuring inches and have lost some there.

I need to feel back to normal now I don't like this feeling I feel like I'm overdosing on pain meds just because it makes the feelings go away

You WILL get back to normal, but you CAN'T control the timing -- when. There is no sin to using your pain Rx, that what it's for. You'll kmow when to stop when the pain Rx feels worse than the symptoms you are trying to address with the pain Rx!

Very normal. Remember your stomach is swollen and you were filled with gas. Mine went away after a week n half

      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.
