I am on loser side now

Congrats~ Glad you are doing okay. Walk as much as you can; it will help the soreness by reducing the gas in your mid-section. If you need pain medication, take it, as pain can actually slow healing.

Wishing you all the best!

I got a pain button and I can dose every 6 min. As of now it just hurts below my rib cage and back. I am in disbelief that I finally got it, I am so happy I feel like crying but that would hurt to much lol

Oh btw, if you are having gas pain, I heard that gas-x melting strips are awesome.

Hi Bobby, i hope you are doing well. I also had my surgery on Tuesday at around 8:30am. As of right now i feel good, except for some mid section discomfort, but that will pass.

Keep up the good work!...best wishes for your recovery!

Congrats!!! I am only 5 months out and it has changed my life. Listen to your doc and follow his/her instructions and you will have some great days ahead of you! The next months will not be easy but everyday gets easier and the journey is well worth it.

      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.
