Surgery was yesterday at 11 am. Went great ! I'm on my way home now. Drinking has been no problem at all. The larger of the incisions is a little uncomfortable understandably so. I'm so excited that I HAVE started my new life path.

Hi Armywife! I had my surgery May 30th and was very swollen in my belly. Luckily a friend had warned me this would happen..she had her surgery in August. She told me not to step on the scales until my 2 week preop appt..she said she gained 17 pounds after surgery and her doctor told her it was from the anesthesia process and the bruising swelling. I was very sore the first day home which was yesterday but mostly because I didn't keep up on my pain meds! Now I know better ...I talked with the nurse yesterday and she said pain control is very important..also the walking helps get the gas moving around so it can be released. Hang in there, you will be much better by the time your husband is home. Also I have heard the 3rd day is the worst. How are you doing with your Water?

Hey Mami! Glad to hear from you! Sorrynaboutnthe swelling but glad it is better. When did you get home? Today is the best day by far for me. I'm having trouble drinking the Protein shakes ...so heavy . I'm going to try some Soup broth that has Protein in it today and see how that goes. Can you believe we did it?!!

      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.
