Recommended Posts

This is my little mile stone. I'm so excited since last week I'm down 17lbs. Woot woot. Feeling great. In total since pre op I'm down 36 lbs. Although I'm no way near my goal, some people have noticed a difference and im just getting started. I'm can't believe how excited I am to work out in the am now lol little weird. I remember hearing someone say, " motivation will get you started, habit will keep you going" finally getting more confidence. Thank u God

Good luck Nicey2U!

I am day 3 and will reiterate jezelle's comment on motivation. It would be real easy to lay in this bed because I am sore and it does feel weird to stand with the incisions: but once I got up moving and ate something the gas started moving out (burping, farting -- TMI sorry! ) I felt a lot better and it doesn't feel so scary.

The heating pad for my shoulder helped ( odd that it hurts there), and Chapstick really helped.

Seattleslew! The pain in your shoulder is a sign of a leak! You should go get that checked asap! I had surgery at cincinatti childrens where the 12 year old Alexis Shapiro did.. Have you heard her story? Well me and her became close, and thats how they found out she had a leak was from her shoulder pain! So please call your dr!

Day 1 post op was not bad because I had pain meds from surgery.. That first night was killer... So much gas pain in my cheat. My doc only gives tylonol and Percocet.... Well I was in so much pain these didn't touch it... So yesterday they gave me some stronger pain meds but he said only once so I walked walked walked while I could and farting was great!! I still have some check pain mostly right after I take the pill they give me cause I think it gets stuck in there.

      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.
