Just had surgery on Monday 10/21. The procedure was done as an outpatient so I came home the same day. This was also a revision of my leaking LapBand. I didn't think it would hurt this bad but I'm excited to switch to full liquids today! Has anyone else had severe headaches that pain medicine doesn't help at all?

Hope you feel better

Has mine done the 22nd. First day n night sucked...I had tons of nausea. I'd dry heave at anything I tried to sip. So surgeon gave me a steroid shot, after seeing my leak test showed there was so much swelling of my sleeve. Soon as I got that in, sipping was better for sure.

I'm super tired and finally have all the gas making its way out both ways.

Anyone else here have the super noisy gurgles? Their so loud...and nurse told me that what I'm feeling like hunger pangs, is really just everything restarting after the surgery.

I have that! It feels weird... like your throat is trying to drain but has a clog. It hasn't become embarrassing yet because I haven't eaten outside of my own house yet. :)

I'm doing ok. I got to start purees today and I can't believe how fast I get full. I have yet to feel hunger which is incredibly strange but I'm still exhausted all the time and having pain from the haital hernia repair. How about you?

I'm doing ok. I'm on full liquids, which feels like a slow methodical torture. Soups just make me crave bad food, so I've decided to leave them alone. I don't get full from any of these full liquids yet.

I don't get to start puréed until the 13th.

My energy is pretty low too. Can def tell when I've done too much.

      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.
