Yes! Oh funny you say that! I feel like I went through detox. It's because we are not putting all that nasty greasy food in our bodies. :))

Surgery was about 2 1/2 weeks ago(4/8), my abdomen is very tender to the touch. It was feeling great and starting yesterday it's been very tender. I have been lifting a little more the past couple days since I'm now by myself to care for my kids. Not sure if this is normal or something I should worry about. Anyone else feeling tender/sore still?

Did you have an open or Lathroscopic procedure? I had a more than six hour open RNY a little over two weeks ago and still have periodic tenderness. Do you have any symptoms of infection? To be safe contact your operating surgeon ASAP.

My surgery was laparoscopic with 4 incisions on April 2nd. 3 of them were completely healed in less than 2 weeks but I still have one that is not healed. Must have been the main one, it seems a tad bigger than the others. Little reddish around the edges but seems to be getting smaller and more healed each day. I am having a hard time getting in my 60g of Protein, so that could be why it is healing slowly I guess.

      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.
