My surgery date is the 4th and I was so happy to see your posts !! I was wondering how long you are in discomfort ! Any troubles getting your fluids in ? And any advice you wanna pass along ?

Emiller. My RNY was the 19th and I had another surgery on Friday so I'm about a week out too. So far so good this past week. I'm just scared everyday.

Had mine the 20th and am still quite sore, but I also had gallbladder out and hernia repair during the the same surgery so I'm guessing that's why....but it's getting better everyday.

I had some complications too and they definitely added to my fear. I was in the hospital the whole first week after I had my surgery on a Monday. When I came home on Sunday I was so nervous and fearful. That lasted about a week and then went away. Hang in there it definitely gets better. Next Wednesday will be my one month surgiversry and I feel GREAT now!

      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.
