You are not alone! I received 1 shot of morphine post-op...for shoulder pain from the surgery. I bounced back very quickly! I slept when tired and moved with the energy. 8 months later I still feel fabulous!

Man that's good that you feel well. Don't push yourself too much tho'. When I was a few days out I felt the same way and wound up pushing myself until my body reminded me that I had just had major surgery. Just listen to you'd body man, and you will be fine.

I'm post op a week now. Had surgery on 12/15/12. I haven't been on the pain meds since coming home. I do feel good and a little week at times. Lost 13lbs in this last week since surgery and am sipping away, getting my Water in and now able to get all the Protein in. I have pain by the incision by my belly button, however that is it. I've noticed since I'm getting more Protein the weight loss has went up to about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs a day (for now).

I agree listen to your body and don't overdue it. I'm 2 weeks out and my reminder comes when I wake up cuz I've been sleeping all over the place lol not a good start to the day! Take your time and enjoy the rest while you have it. Oh! And welcome to the losers bench!!

Looking forward to you story. And like others have said don't over do. glad you feel so good, but don't be shocked if there is a day here and there that you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you, that happens. but then every day will be better and better.

      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.
