I'm up walking and drinking so yay! All went well with my surgery. My only major complaints are that all broth and Jello tastes like snot....seriously, and I just wish I could fart. I'm burping like a drunken sailor though. One last thing, OUCH OUCH! Pain is better today, but when the pain meds wear off...just OUCH!

Gets better every day! FYI do not wait for longer than 3-4 days before you take something if you don't have a BM.

It's been getting better every day Leticia. I didn't have a catheter at all. I was concerned about that, but they don't do them. I had no problems with peeing. I'm 4 days out now and still having some gas pains. Not hungry at all which is nice, but trying to remember to get 64 ounces of Water in is a pain. It is so nerve wracking, yet exciting. You will do great and everyone on these boards have been so wonderful and helpful.

Never had a catheter, so yay for that! Day 4 is feeling better. I'm still having issues wil pain on the left side, but Tylenol helps. My bed is so tall getting in and out of it is comical. I still have trouble passing the gas...not sure why. You will do great...reading these boards have helped tremendously. Everyone is so wonderful and helpful. I'm excited for you. Just get through he first couple of weeks and I hear it gets better. That's what I keep telling myself.

4 days post op today and I cooked Thai food for my family. I ate a sugar free Popsicle. It smells great and they tell me it's good, but I didn't dare try it. It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It would be great to eat with them, but so far I'm doing ok with it all. I've only had one dose of pain meds today, but it does hurt a bit. I'm trying to stay active so the time passes quicker for me. I'm already missing work, but I can't go back for at least 2 more weeks. I am shocked to have this much energy considering all I've had is sugar free Clear Liquids for days. The human body is an amazing thing.

Really appreciate your open and honest communication. You are also an inspiration as your messages are still positive in light of current discomfort. Keep it up - we're cheering for you. Looking forward to next week and hoping I am as optimistic as you are by this time next week ( 3 days post - op)!

Awwwee...thanks Pammy. I think whining to you guys on here has helped. There are so many people on here that are willing to help with advice and kind words. Knowing we aren't in this alone is half the battle.

      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?

      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.
