Good luck tomorrow. Please know that there will be some pain. Ok, maybe a bunch. Post op day 3 I was miserable, but it got so much better after that. Walk walk walk and use the incentive spirometer. Take it easy. I found that hit liquids were so much easier to drink vs room temperature. I am 3 weeks post op today. I am feeling pretty good, a bit tired over all. The even better news is since 12/22 i am down 31 lbs. I haven't seen 270 in a long time! Good luck tomorrow! I'll say some prayers for you!

I was sleeved last Wednesday. When I woke up in post op my back hurt. My post op nurse asked me if I wanted morphine. Yes please, I said. This could be super cheesy so I apologize ahead of time. I visualized warm light pressing on my back and stomach. I new that this pain or uncomfort would eventually pass. I kept the light visualization while I was in post op. Which was a few hours because there was a mix up in what room I was going to. When I got to my room it hurt to get up the first time. It does feel better to stand up. My labors were like that too. Laying down was painful. It got better and the pain changes. I said yes to painkillers this not being the time to be toughing it out. I was lucky not to have added nausea. Five days out I didn't use my Tylenol with hydrocodone today. Now the mental challenge begins. Good luck to you. I think everyone works hard to get to the surgery date and being proud to be there is good!

      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.
