And I am the happiest gal I feel for having it done. I am drinking as much as I can but not up to 64oz yet. I feel like clicking my heels....

It'll get better I'm 7 days out. I'm still struggling with getting my Water down still. I just keep a bottle with me everywhere I go. I got really dry two days ago and it wasn't nice. It was like I had a difficulty talking. Now I can't get totally comfortable sitting. It helped to read the text about the heating pad.

Welcome to the journey!

I got mine Tuesday and I didn't expect this much pain, my weight loss center said most people don't need the pain med after they go home. I think they are nuts, I'm in a ton of pain.

Hi I'm 8 days post op from southeastern MA I've had a gas free experience and I stayed two and 1/2 days in hospital. I too used pain meds when needed 2 days after returning home and used the heating pad.....best thing eva..... My doctor DID NOT do a leak test....I have heard about them on this site and after surgery I asked him how it looked and he said he thought they were "too invasive" after a traumatic procedure....so I've been praying since I don't spring a leak....Geesh

My surgeon didn't do a leak test either. Only during surgery. He said if a leak is going to happen, it's going to happen. I'm glad I didn't have to do a swallow test to be honest.

      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.
