I had my surgery on Friday May 17th I got o come home yesterday. I'm doing pretty good not having any issues except I feel super full all the time. Not hungry at all. I had a low heart rate after surgery so I have to have it checked out. They didn't seem to hunk it meant anything but the doctor suggested I have it looked at. They also did a EKG in he middle of he night on Fruday and it came back fine. Soo I have an appointment on the 29th to have it checked again. I have to have another EKG before the appointment. I hope it's nothing my mom had a low heart rate after her knee surgery so it could just run m my family. We will see. Other than hat was not nervous at all before going in. Cracked jokes at my surgeon had everyone laughing!! I am not in pain and haven't taken any pain meds today t all. Walked down the street a little ways

S this afternoon. Not very far though. All in all I'm doing great!!

Glad to see all is well.

I know what ya mean! Glad your okay. It will get easier. It was a tough weekend for me, but I got up and went to the mall to walk. The gas was the worst feeling. I took hot showers, a heating pad and used Gas X strips. Thank goodness its subsided! I hope your feeling better soon.

I know exactly what you mean. I just don't feel like me. Just a little struggle trying to get back to normal day to day activities

Hang in there May ladies (and gents)! My surgery was 4/9 and it wasn't a picnic. We are freaking our bodies out an they react in different ways. I have my energy back and start 'regular' food today. Even though i've been grumpy at times,, teary, frustrated and just plain tired, I would NOT change my mind about having this surgery. I am down 43 lbs and loving it! Hang in there and keep your eyes on your long range goals of a healthier life.

      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.
