My surgery was in the 8th. I'm struggling getting fluids and Protein. I'm not walking a whole lot because I'm feeling weak. But everyday is getting better. Only pain is from largest incision near my belly button. Sort of a muscle stretching pain but only when I get up or try to walk fast. I haven't had pain meds since leaving the hospital.

Went for 2 walks today a few blocks. Probably about 1 mike each walk. Maybe more. Walk. Walk and walk. I feel great but I have been able to get all my Protein in no problem. Energy level is great. Just gassy. I am going into work for 4 hours tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'm the boss so I need to take care of a few things. And sitting at home is driving me nuts. I need my normal routine

I'm 12 days post op and feel pretty horrible. I have terrible gas pains, feel weak, and struggle to get my Protein in. My doctor has me on Clear Liquids for 3 weeks post op and I just can't stand the clear liquid Protein Drinks. On the bright side I've lost 25 lbs. But its hard to be happy about that when I feel so terrible. I just keep wondering "when does it start to get better?".

      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.
