Hi Seriousaboutme! We had surgery the same day. I hope your pain is well-controlled. Let's compare notes sometime.

Hi how are you feeling? I am walking but I am suffering from gas and pain. How are you handling the Water.

Hi how are you coping now? I'm annoyed! My iv had to be redone 3 times. I am in pain and I'm in a 3 person room..

Hello, thank god, I was finally approved because they found my blood type. I had surgery yesterday, everything went very well. I have a lot of gas/insishion pain. I was just discharged and am going home. How did everything go with you?

I'm having gas pain too. In my lower stomach its the worst. They are keeping me tonight because I didn't get my 60oz of Water down today. Plus I'm still in pain so it's okay.

It didn't hurt, but let me tell you it was a very disturbing feeling. I could feel the tube moving out and being pulled from my insides. Be thankful when it is over lol. But no pain at least.

How those who made it home manage sleeping in bed? I'm still not sure how to get in and out and I really want to sleep there tonight. My body needs to lay flat. So far I just came home and took a nap in a semi-comfortable recliner.

How's everyone doing on figuring out when their pouch is full? I think I am just starting to. It is pressure/pain at this point. There's like this warning signal that comes with it of "If take one more sip everything is getting ejected." Is it like that for others?

I am happy to be home, but almost wish I was still in the hospital, so it would be easier to control my pain. Last night was a long sleepiness night because of pain, but thank God for my wife that helps me out of bed. I spend half the night in bed, the other half in a recliner. It feels good not to be hungry, but I'm just too damn sore, but it will be worth it!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I only get up out of bed to walk or eat or get in the recliner, whichever one doesn't hurt as bad...having a really hard time getting Water in...doing good with the Protein.

      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.
