hello and welcome! Hang in there, it does get better! Do you have meds for the acid/heartburn? If not, you might want to contact your surgeon to see about getting some.

welcome welcome welcome :)

wonderful group of people here :)

read and learn :)

use the search botton in the right hand corner :)

but we llllluv to answer any and all questions from newbies :unsure:

you are only one week out!!!

these issues you talk about are common to many :wacko:

as @@Sleevarilla said call your doc asking him to give you something for the acid/heartburn

or example, per my doc - i have taken Prilosa immediately PO :)

being wiped out/tired is also common

est, rest, rest - take things slowly (if you are able to) :)

family, friends around to help you??

when you are able to get out of the house- walk as much as possible (don't overdue - go slowly at first)

if you need to stay home, walk and walk around the house

make sure you drink plenty of Water (especially at this early stay)

popsicles are great

sip Water very slowly!!

good luck :)

Shavonna, very happy for you. I would stay away from anything acidic like Tomato Soup and fruit. Hang in there. You should feel good real soon. I never had a sick day and felt wonderful, and I feel bad for those who do not have it as easy. Always trust your body and gut instinct to tell you something is really wrong, but maybe having a restful weekend, you will feel better on Monday. Good luck!

      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.
