Walk as much as you can. I walked everyday. I skipped 3 days because my knee hurt and got gas pains. As soon as I started walking again, the pain went away. Just walk as much as you can, even if it's only around the block at first. I'm one month out and I walk 3 miles per day and I feel great! Good luck to you and have a happy day!! :)

I wanted to say .... I'd tell them to make damn sure it's gas . Especially with vomiting. To do this before I leave.

I did not have any vomiting with mine, just every sip I take causes severe pain, I'm trying little tiny sips. Still nothing

Found out today I have an uncommon side effect of the surgery. I can't burp. So when drinking am pushing air into pouch and since it ain't coming out of the other way it is stuck in my pouch and causing lots and lots of pain. Dr tells me this will go Way, but it's almost like a baby with colic. Worse pain I have ever had in my life. So now I am siping little sips finally feeling better today side not hurting as bad.

      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.
