Hey all. Just wanted to give an update that all went well and I am in my room. I'm just really tired. I'll post up some more updates tomorrow. Thanks for the support!! It really kept me strong!!

Glad you are doing well! Such a relief when it is over. If you are like me- in 2 weeks you'll be hungry and ready to be over the liquids! Haha! Today I chewed up a bite of meatloaf and spit it out. Gross, I know, but I was dying for a taste. I cook dinner every night and sigh! But I know this too will pass.

Take care! Congratulations!

Hey all. Thanks again for the well wishes!! Just got home from the hospital. Feels good to be home but my gas pains are horrendous. I'm hoping they start to get better soon. Everything else feels more like discomfort vs pain. I'll keep you guys updated!

Good morning guys and gals! So my first night home was a little rough. I'm used to sleeping on my stomach out of habit and I guess I went to roll onto my stomach a few times and I saw stars!! Otherwise not to much pain last night. Getting up from my bed is a little bit of an obstacle but I'm sure it'll get easier too. Just gotta take it one day at a time!!

Good morning! So today is day 3 post-op and its getting a little better everyday. I do however have what feels like a huge air bubble in the left side of my stomach but other then that its not too bad. My shakes are going down pretty easily now too. Well that's all for now! Hope you all have a good day!

I took gas x strips the first week or so. I also ran out an purchased a recliner. I too sleep on my stomach and still cannot-so the recliner is my new best friend. Also, I've taken sleeping pills to help me sleep and when I lie down, it comes right back up! I cannot drink/ eat or take meds 1 hr prior to bed time - the other night I was in severe pain taking pills and lying down.

3 days shy is 3 weeks post op and still cannot get my Protein or Water all in. But when I do drink Water have a tendency to gulp down until full- and then scared I'll stretch my sleeve. Such an adjustment!

Glad you are doing well!

      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.
