That pain from coughing can be nasty. That may be what caused my pain in my ribs. I originally thought it was trapped gas. I only worried about a possible clot after the calf pain started. I am not having a terrible recovery, however this is the toughest time I have bad recovering from an operation. This is the third time many of my incisions were used for a laparoscopic procedure and I had so much trouble waking up from anesthesia that its just been harder than I'm used to.

Ok, I just got on and I almost freaked out reading what was going on. Seriously. Thank goodness you are all right. I was scared for you. You better take it easy and get all your fluids and I won't come kick your butt.

Just keep swimming, Dory!

I just went for a walk with hubs, baby, dogs and best friend. I'm hoping she will be following me in this journey so I invited her to walk with us. We walked a mile and I feel great. And since I had to go to the ER I took my Water with me so I am almost at my 64 oz of water. I feel much better now that I have had some rest and a walk.

Yes. We have a gorgeous walking trail/bike path behind my parents house. I love taking Becca for walks there. When I'm feeling better I will be doing that every day! But for now I can't take her on my own.

I had my surgery on Monday 2/10. Everything is going great. I am not in pain and am able to get my liquids down. My only problem is the Vitamins and Calcium. I can't get them down without throwing up. I gave up on the calcium and just try to get one Vitamin in a day. I know these are important but I don't want to throw up. Anyone else have problems?

Since starting my pre-op diet on Friday I've lost 6 lbs! I'm so excited! It's tough at times, especially at work, but I haven't cheated! Just 5 more days of super low calorie diet and 3 days of clear liquid diet then I get my new tiny stomach pouch!

Ahhh. That kinda stinks. Yogurt and pudding have kept me from going crazier. Haha

LindsayHeth I am exactly where you are, but am afraid to weigh myself ! I am afraid no weight loss will discourage me.

So, I am hoping my body is not letting me down.

      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.
