I didn't really feel better until day 4 which is today for me. I finally began to pass gas last night and it changed everything for the better. I know it's a sensitive subject but it is important. I am walking better now. My stomach is still tender when I stand up. I have been climbing stairs since I came home because I was determined to sleep in my bed. I am drinking apple Isopure Protein which is really good and tastes like apple soda without the fizz. It has 40 grams of Protein in it. I am aslo drinking premier Protein Drink which has 30 grams in it. I am sipping Water constantly. My throat still hurts but its getting better. I use the spirometer blowy thing because i have mucus in my throat and don't want to get pnuemonia like they warned me about. I am so glad to be home.

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for June 18th...sleeve with hiatal hernia repair. I am a leader for a youth trip leaving June 23rd for 4 days. It's the beach...only a four hour drive. I'm not required to do anything with the group except make sure they are in the room at night. I need opinions from those who have had surgery. Will I feel like recovering in a hotel room on the beach, 5 days after surgery? Or do I bow out? If recovering at home, I will have my 4 kids (ages 4-14) to take care of while my husband works. Thanks for any input!!

Hi I had my surgery Monday on the 5th. Today is my fifth day. I'm still sore but not as bad . I can walk around my house some before it starts hurting. I also took children's Motrin along with my pain meds. It seem to help a lot . But ask you doctor if you can take it .

The bypass. I'm drinking my two shakes a day. I'm eating my soft foods like they said. Im exercising every dsy. But my weight is stalled. I'm losing inches but the scale is moving really slowly. I see people posting they lost 15 pounds in a week and so on. Is your weight just falling off?

It's killing me to. I'm going to stop weighing myself every day and try to do it once a week. I see my doctor next week. I'll see what he says.

On the positive my knees don't hurt anymore I have more energy and I can reach the radio buttons in my car because my stomach is smaller. My clothes are getting too big and that's great. I'm back at work and now I have to decide how much I want to share. I'm not ready to deal with the food police and naysayers in my office just yet.

I know how you feel . My clothes are lose ... not to much in the waist but my shirts are . I guess I will be putting on so more weight . Since I'm in the hospital tonight. They got me hooked up to the IV . Ugh ... I'm not in here for my weight loss . It's because of my MS . But I know how you feel about people wanting to tell you what to eat and they don't have a clue. I am glad you are doing good.

      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.
