Few hours now after surgery.,, drugs are killing... I hate this feeling. Extreme discomfort and gas pain...... Any advice?

From past surgeries and others walking helps with the gas. Hope it gets better quick for you.

I am 2 days out from my surgery. To be honest I feel pretty good. I am not in the mood to eat. But I am trying to get something in my system. Is anyone else having this issue as well.

I was sleeved Monday, I don't have any appetite either, but I Am fine with that. I think that's pretty normal at this stage. I'm supposed to add Protein Shakes tomorrow. I can't even think about that. I guess a sip or two will be ok. I had some broth today and tea. So far so good.

1 week and 3 days post op and I am feeling more or less back to normal. I think I should have kept a blog about my journey so may well start one.

The hardest thing for me up to now is 'the mind games' I am trying really hard to control it.

This web site has really helped me

I went to my 1 week follow-up today. I've lost 10.6 lbs. I'm on full liquids for another week then on to blended liquids for 2 weeks. Doc is happy with my progress.

For everyone that has had their surgery any suggestions or tips for us to come still on getting through the liquids after surgery? Just thinking it may help us get thru the rough days.

      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.
