One week post op and I'm down 12 pounds. I was feeling really well today, so I replaced the hallway light fixtures and started painting the hall.

Crazy that two days ago I couldn't get out of bed without pain meds.

I'm feeling good thanks! I have been trying to stay hydrated - that's probably been the toughest thing. I'm surprised that I have little pain - not much gas pain either. I haven't used pain meds since the hospital. How r u doing?

I am glad that you are progressing so well. I am still using my gas x strips. I am still walking a lot. I'm so happy, I broke down today

Took mine off after 3 days but I had 0 pain and no issues I'd say play it by ear unless otherwise told by a doctor

Sent from my iPad using VST

I am in the same boat - no pain and no issues - I so bad want to take it off because its a bit annoying but if I have to keep it on I will. Maybe I should call to find out.

      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.
