Hi everyone! I had my surgery on 4/15 & just waiting for my family to come get me. Day 1 was hard - some pain, hard to move & breathe without pain. I couldn't get up to walk because I was so dizzy & nauseous. Day 2 big improvement. Still some pain but not too bad. Day 3- started running a fever got up to 100.4. The hospital wasn't going to release me unless my temp came down. It's still up a little but I made sure it was low enough to let me leave. The only pain I have is when I try to roll over or bend down. So far it's not so bad today. I hope everyone is doing well!!

Mines is April 18th (tomorrow)! Anyone else in the same boat? What are you guys packing with you in preparation? Also what do you have ready for your liquid diets? I have a few things but its very limited to just broth, Jello, etc and of course my Vitamins but any other ideas would be appreciated!

Reading all your updates ......

So my experience has been great! Then again, my surgery was only 13 hrs ago

As I've mentioned, I have dreadful anesthesia issues. This time wasn't horrible but not perfect. I was nauseous the entire time after surgery & was given a lot of meds. The scratch down my throat is 10x worse than my surgery lol

I actually began sipping Water pretty quickly just to ease my throat.

Then there was the awful pain on my shoulders. Felt like a horse kicked me.

So I was peeing & I noticed blood on my gown. Took me 2 hrs to figure it out; I had some drainage from an incision. Thing is, I have NO pain from surgery & forgot I had incisions!!!

No problems really. I HATE the nebulizer in my nose though.

How is everyone doing? Made it through the first 4 days, but still healing. I can say the left side cut hurts pretty bad still, and it is right where my pants hit. Ugh! It feels okay to walk around as long as I am holding my left side. I wish I had a wrap around thing that would make me not have to hold my tummy. Anyone else having that problem?

Not feeling nauseous or anything just really hurting on the left. I did notice that I might have eaten too much when I was eating some cream of chicken Soup earlier. Got an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and upper abdomen but not until 10 minutes later. I was really scared of dumping too but I didn't, thank God!

      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.
