I had surgery 8/13/12 and am starting to get my new "normal" in balance I think. Today is the first day I have felt good early in the am. My days seem to start off slow...but afternoons/evenings are great!

Guess we'll all have to adjust to a new "normal".... find your new sense of balance and make that our normal now.

I had surgery on 8/27. I don't feel bad but I don't feel great. Just sort of blaah and tired all the time. I am also not losing a lot of weight. My scale says 2 pounds but at the doctor's yesterday it was 10 pounds. Weird. Anyway did most of you have high energy in the week after surgery? Btw I am getting 75 g Protein in daily and drinking liquids.

I had mine the 30th. I still have on and off pain, and gurgling stomach. When does it stop hurting? When can you move around normal and lay how you want...? I have enough energy but that's probably cause I don't do much since I'm still healing.

I had my surgery on 6/6/12. I feel pretty normal. Actually I feel better than normal. I have energy. I like the new normal I am feeling. Tomorrow will be 3 months and I am down 58 pounds. The only time I feel bad is when I eat too fast or eat something that doesn't agree with my pouch. Then I throw up! But it gets better quickly.

      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.
