I did it. I feel pretty good and they have me walking every 2 hours but the gas is still painful. It's sitting in my chest and my upper back it's almost hard to take a deep breath. But otherwise I'm good. Hope this is the worse of it. How arey fellow 4/23ers doing?

I was also sleeved on the 23rd. There was no way I could have posted that day, I was in so much pain and really out of it. They had me walking right away also. I came home on the 24th and really have just been miserable since, though today I feel a little better. I have no hunger at all and the thought of sipping the Protein Drinks and Water makes me ill. I cannot stomach the pain meds crushed in the sugarfree applesauce, so I have been skipping them. I am hoping each day will get easier.

I promise it will get better! I am 6 days post op and feel great! Haven't used pain meds since the first night. Today I went food shopping with hubby. I'm not driving yet, but hopefully by next weekend.

      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.
