I had gastric bypass surgery 5/23/14. I was discharged 5/25/14. I had surgery at Cuyuna Regional Medical Center. My surgeon was Dr. Roberts. I had been considering WLS for a couple of years and finally started my journey 8/19/13. I had WLS to become healthier. And to be arou d for my childrem and grand children.

Today has been a difficult day. I have felt exhausted most of the day. I have had diarrhea and nausea. I went back to a clear liquid diet and have taken a couple of naps. I do feel a little better.

I joined this group for support and tips along with giving others support on this weight loss roller coaster.

Welcome and CONGRATS on your new life!!! I join this group a few days ago and I'm already in love with all my supporters. You're freshly out of surgery, so you will be tired for a few days. Your tiredness, pain, and soreness will get better. I am almost 11 days out and I'm back at the gym and running errands. Again, congratulations on your new healthy life!!!

I feel your pain, I had my surgery on 5/21/14 and I can't meet my daily Protein goals because the drinks make me sick to my stomach. There's very little food I can eat at this point so it's all I can do to keep myself together. We just have to be patient and let healing happen. Good luck and talk to you soon!

I'm sorry you guys are struggling but I'm glad you found this board. I'm preop but I'm learning so much about what to expect and how to be successful with the surgery. I'm sure you'll all be doing so much better in a week or two. Be sure to come back to the topic and let us know how you're doing so someone following behind you can learn from your experiences.

Best wishes

Ginger

      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.
