3in1wOL 17 Posted August 10, 2014 stacyfae, I had my surgery on the 5th as well. I can't say I am struggling with the Protein Shakes, but I have been experiencing "head" hunger. At these times I have to find something else to do--walk a bit outside, watch a movie--stay away from commercial TV since there are so many food commercials, read a book, write in a journal. Our tummies need to heal. And unfortunately the reasons we are overweight do not go away with the surgery--it is going to be tough at times--we need to find new ways to deal with life. Keep on plugging away and you will overcome the wants --- onward to success!! 3 Jz0917, Stacyfae and VSGAnn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ddelrio 1 Posted August 11, 2014 I had my surgery on 8/6 and my experience was nothing but awesome! God blessed me with the best surgeon, nurses, and hospital staff ever! The pain was minimal and I am still sore but totally worth it. I think the most pain came from the gas. I am recovering at home with the most supportive family which makes.my experience all the better. I would do this over in a heartbeat! Now just waiting out the slow but sure outcome! 1 Dragonfly1111 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enlightened1 15 Posted August 11, 2014 Just got home from the hospital. A 5 night stay as opposed to the 2 day that was promised. Just wanted to update everyone who has wished me well. Speak to your surgeons about nausea and what can be done to avoid it.5 unbearable days in the hospital has me regretting this. Best of luck to those of you heading towards the lovers bench... 2 BrandyV and amorga reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
