I'm about a week out (3-31-14) and pretty much feel awful most of the time. Haven't vomited (thank God) but just pain and discomfort. Going in to see the surgeon, 1 week early, tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately, I understand. But, as you'll be told, it'll get better. Hang in there.

walk as much as you can, the sooner you start walking the better you will feel. i had surgery on 3/10 at 3:00 in the afternoon. i was up walking that evening. the next day i walked ten minutes out of every hour. the more i walked the better i felt. the people i had surgery with….well on the same day….started walking with me. i would go get them out of their rooms and we would walk. we had a great support group among us. i did get sick the first night and throw up some. they gave me pain meds and something for nausea in my iv. that helped and i was able to stop vomiting. the next day i felt like a new person. although, i was sore and still am at times. would not change any of it for the world. i am happy to be on this journey with each and every one of you, i wish you all a successful, joyful journey.

      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.
