How do you feel how long do you have to stay in the hosiptal? How is your pain?

I'm in a little pain. Was in the hospital for 1 nights. I came home this morning. I feel a lot better since they removed the drain this morning! I'm just sipping on Water, sucking on Popsicles & walking around!

I wish my recovery were as easy as yours. I had to stay in the hospital for 5 nights due to some complications. But I am doing much better now.

Wishing you the very best of success!

Thank you! I'm feeling pretty good as long as I make sure I take my pain meds every 4 hours. I moved to puréed food today, which is an adjustment. I'm taking my time with everything & definitely sipping all day.

      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.
