Recommended Posts

So today was the day. It's finally here. I was so beyond nervous. I woke up from surgery completely sore and in pain. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. A few hours later and I'm feeling a bit better. I've been able to sip water' date=' I have no appetite at all. Make sure to bring Chapstick to the hospital!!! It's a must!!! Im scheduled to go home tomorrow. I'm so excited that my day finally came. I'm looking forward to all the positive changes that are to come. How's everyone else feeling after their surgery? [/quote']

Feel better. I am scheduled for 10/25.

It's funny. I read tons, I took the class, but I didn't realize how I would feel after the surgery. I'm a little sad. I know it's only been a few days but I don't like being in pain or not being able to do anything. At least I can get a little more liquids in!!!

My surgery got changed to 11/1. I am in Charlotte, NC. I am looking forward to the surgery. I've been feeling very emotion the last day or two. I guess that is normal. I am excited and nervous.

So day 2... Wow feel like I got hit by a truck. Discharged home. My throat is killing me from the tube they put down it for the anesthesia. My Dr. told me I had a hernia and that it was very common... Just my luck!!! I know this will be worth it. But I can't wait til I feel better. :)

I was sleeved on 10/3 and I feel the same way. Are you having the spasms too? My Dr gave me a prescription for the spasms and boy does it help. I've read that usually after the 4th day, we will feel much better. I sure hope so!!

Spasms? Like muscle spasms? No not that I've noticed. Today I woke up feeling sore but soooo much better. I may go for a walk this evening. When it's not 93 degrees outside. I'm sure you will feel better soon. I didn't realize how bad I'd feel after surgery. Every part of my body hurt. But I'm feeling better. My only issue is I'm getting hungry and it's hard to get my Protein in. The shakes are hard for me to drink.

I haven't noticed any spasms. I'm feeling much better today. Still sore and having gas issues, but today's the best I've felt. I hope you start to feel better soon!!!

      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.
