I had surgery on the 16th too. Doing really well. The pains not too bad and walking does help. I haven't had anything to eat but ice chips and can't until after my leak test tomorrow but I am hoping I tolerate food/broth ok. Hope everyone is doing well and healing.

I had my surgery around 9:30 yesterday morning. I didnt have a lot of gas pain, but my stomach is even more sore now than it was yesterday. I feel like someone has punched me in the stomach a few times. Its not unbearably painful, just really uncomfortable.

I took the heating pad and placed it over my left shoulder letting it lay on the middle of my chest. It has helped me so much with the pain. I also have a clicker that I can press when I feel pain!! Today is day 2 I'm so thirsty! Feels like ive been stranded on a desert. I couldn't use the mouth swabs because it always made me vomit. I hurled with my stomach and I had pain. This surgery really isn't that bad. My csections were worse. Its just the need to burp is what's kicking my butt

I asked for a heating pad, but they said they had to have orders for me to use it. :(

Had my surgery last night! Was scheduled for 2pm but it took till 5:30, the patient before me had major issues and was in surgery before me all day. Not weight loss surgery though, thankfully! But I'm glad they turned out ok.

I woke up in a lot of pain and very thirsty. Pain has subsided though. Doc says surgery went very well! I'm so glad it's all over with! Hope everyone who's had surgery is doing well and those who are coming up that their wait goes quickly! I don't post much but I love reading your stories!

      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.
