Feeling incredibly sore today but my surgery was delayed until 6pm yesterday so not quite 24 hours in! No sickness or gas to note just feeling very uncomfortable! Very bumpy journey home but once in my bed I had a little snooze and now awake waiting for my husband and 2 sons to come home. I haven't had too much to drink today as feeling so nervous on how much is too much etc.... But my mouth Is so dry and must keep sipping. I think today I'll just stick with Water and maybe try some Soup or something tomorrow.

Hi there I was banded June 28th I'm now four days post op. I feel great. I wanted to drop in and wish you the best luck on your new joinery as I am beginning mine.

I am drinking lots of Jello tea coffee juice watered down no sugar and eating Popsicles that are no sugar added as well. Lots of chicken broth adding different glaciers so I don't get sick.

There third and fourth day is the hardest I think as I am super tired yesterday and today I feel well rested and itchy from the healing process of the body.

Keep in touch

Congrats...I had some pain. Mostly in my left shoulder. My surgery was the 26th and honestly I feel pretty darn good today. It will be worth it!!

I was just banded on July 3. It's been smooth sailing so far. Just remember to have some variety on your menu when you get to the purée stage.

Hi I'm now day 5 post op. Have managed some very small amounts of smooth Soup and a very thin fat free yogurt yesterday. Before that it was just Water only as I didn't really have an appetite at all. I'm forcing myself to eat something as I do feel quite dizzy at times.

I'm not sure if any of you feel the same but I'm so nervous as to how much to eat as if you eat too much you will be sick and dry heave etc so I don't want to eat hardly anything just in case!

Feeling heaps better today- have had some pain the last few days but have been as mobile as possible and helped round the house with as much as I can reach! Horrible cough though which is driving me nuts as it's really hard to cough due to all the wounds pulling!!

Overall I'm so shocked with how it's going so far- really thought it would be harder than this! I'm currently 8kg since the start of the liver diet 10 days pre op and so down to now 96kg. Xx

For me you just "know" when you need to stop eating. Keep you're Protein at 2 oz and blend it way up. If it's stringy it won't work.

      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.
