It has been 3 days since surgery. The only issue I have is gas pains, which is normal. Trying to get all the Fluid in is work. I love sugar free popcycles. Good luck for those getting ready for their surgery.

I got home last night. Was sleeved Wed the 14th. Aside from the pain on my right side, the only difficult part is forcing the Water down. I only got about 8 oz of water in. But I had 3 sugar free Popsicles and 8 oz of chicken broth. The broth made me feel super full though. I'm really looking forward to feeling better soon!!!

I was also sleeved on the 14th I'm extremely thirsty so I think last night I drank too much Water leaving me with extreme pains rising in the sleep ... I've had so much heartburn ... At least that's what I think it is ... As soon as I start walking it feels better .... I'm only sleeping 2 to 4 hours max

      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.
