I am day 8

I was doing amazing until yesterday. I just felt totally drained yesterday and laid down a lot. Same thing today. I am very tired today. Yes, I have been getting all my protien & Fluids. But for me, I think I overdid it because I have been walking a lot and doing an arm workout (no weights).

Today is the 1st day that I just dont want to eat/drink.

My steri-strips have begun to fall off and 2 of my incisions needed bandaids. I dont want keloids.

Tomo is my 1st post-op.

I have lost 6 lbs in 8 days.BTW

Are you still taking your pain meds? Mine made me feel aweful. Once I have them up I felt like a million bucks

Caught up with your blog -

WOW what a different experience than me. My experience was perfect - dreamy - like a fairytail. And my recovery has been amazing until I just got sluggish yesterday. I had no prob getting in/out of cars, no probs at all in the bathroom nor with showering. Your husband sounds amazing. I am glad you have had his help. I have been 100% alone. I actually drove the day after I was released (no pain meds that day) and have been driving every day since.

I think my experience has been different from many - it's really weird. I had more pain when my gallbladder was remove din 2007 and I consider this surgery to be very similar. I think I am an oddball!!!

Oh and you wrote that you strain the noodle Soup because the brith is better - hmmmm I should try this but IDK how I will part with those noodles!! Right now I am drinking plain broth (unjury enhanced) and its "OK" but I bet what you do is 200X better!

I'm post op day #9 and had my 1st follow up - and came home and ate a SF chocolate pudding. I ate all of it within the hour (3.6 oz) and had no problem with it.

I am looking forward to some creamy Soups tomorrow, though not thrilled about straining them. I will though. I will not do anything wrong in this recovery.

If any of you recall, I had a perfect surgery and have had no pain etc.... well my Dr warned me today that my stomach might be numb and that I need to be extremely careful with all I put in it.... and I must MEASURE everything in ounze cups and NOT over do it. I have had no problem consuming 5-6 oz of Water in an hour. He doesn't want me doing that with food.

I don't have any appetite and the pudding wasn't all that thrilling - it was just nice to have something other than broth. lol

Hey! Sounds like your doing great. My surgery was the 15th of April. I'm down 34lbs. This week I'm slowing adding a variety of foods but still mainly soft. I can tell a huge difference in the way I look and feel. But everything is great on my end! :) just so glad the first month was over for me cause it was tough. :)

      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.
