Recovery is goings. Surgery was at 10. Getting rest and then walking. Slept most of the day. The pain is not as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck everyone. I was extremely nervous and it all went smoothly.

Mamasanch,

I am so glad everything went well and the pain is not so bad. That is one of my biggest fears, uncontrolled pain. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the update mamasanch. A 4 sounds manageable. Glad to hear you are up and walking. Get some rest.

How are you doing. My pain went up second day due to the horrible gas. Lots of walking helped. I'm home feeling better and staying focused. Trying to get liquids in. But still not as bad as I anticipated. I think I expected the worse and so I accept the pain as part of this process. Hope your doing well.

I am sorry your pain went up yesterday, how was it today? Glad to hear it was not as bad as you thought. You have such a great positive attitude. I am pre-op and really appreciate you taking the time to log your journey and what helps. How's it going with the liquids? What can you have this week? Hope you are better everyday. :-)

Getting better and better everyday. Went for a walk outside. Got in 75 grams of Protein and all my Vitamins. Trying to drink more Water. Still a little gas but the farts are helping. Lol. I'm going. To work on Monday for 4-5 hours. I am self employed and need to do some paperwork and give some directions. I should be fine. How are you doing. I can sit at my desk and give orders. But getting back to normal is probably best for me. I won't overdue it.

I see you are preop. Don't be scared. I see people post all kinds of results. You need to expect the worst pain then you are mentally prepared. I had never had any surgery. So I expected the worst. I am in pain but dealing with it day by day and it is easing up. Good luck let me know when your approved and have date.

I am two days post op and am amazed at how well things have gone. My pain has never exceeded a 2-3 out of 10. My worst experience was dry heaving (three times) and then there was the shart in my bed... I know it's too early to Celebrate success, but very relieved at how good it's gone.

It's amazing that things are going good for me so far! I was sleeved on 10/7/13. I was able to get out today and take my son to our church picnic! He had a ball and I did too! I brought my shakes and propel zero with me it was nice to get out the house! My soreness is starting to go away and I meet with the doctor on Wednesday and he will give me the go ahead to start the soft/purée food stage! My scale doesn't work I thought if I buy new batteries it will but it doesn't! I will set out to buy one this week!

      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.
