Use a heating pad, keep taking your pain pills if you still have any and all will be well. Welcome to banderland.

Just follow the post op instructions your Doc. gave you and it does get better , if you can't sleep laying down then try a recliner or chair you feel comfortable in then maybe you can sleep for a few hrs. at a time , take your pain meds it will help if they gave you any , before you know it , you will fell like you again , then as you start to feel better you will also start having more energy than you thought you had, good luck on your journey.

I as well am really sore especially on my port side, I woke up this morning and my stomach muscle on my port side felt like it was being ripped out. Very intense pain unexpected because I have been feeling pretty good before. It been 16 days and I have been following my pre op plan. Only lost about 10 lbs . Hopefully, I will be able to start getting active again soon, I feel disabled right now, not being able to do much of anything or I will be in pain. Its got to get better. I don't want to regret this surgery.

      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.
