Hi friends. I am on my way to the hospital right now and I'm a little nervous. Prayers and good thoughts needed. I'm getting revision from Lapland to gastric bypass.

Thank you for all your prayers and warm thoughts. I am 1 day post op and thank God I don't have a drainage tube instead of 5 incisions I only got 4. I was feeling better yesterday after surgery but today I'm in a little bit more pain and have nausea. Again thank you for your thoughts and prayers

Once you move off the heavy pain meds you'll start to feel better. Each day gets better!

i actually have experienced more pain 2.5 weeks post op than i did in the hospital - and that is because i had excellent pain management in the hospital. i stopped the painkiller (lortab) 2.5 weeks post op - and that was a mistake. but i wanted to get off the lortab because it makes my thinking cloudy.

i wish everyone success! i remain grateful to everyone on this forum who has shared experiences. i am trying to share mine to make a contribution back to the community

my advice is: keep taking your pain medication. now i know why my surgeon gave me 3 refills on the lortab

      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.
