How much weight have you lost so far? I believe it can happen from rapid weight loss.

I was 6 weeks post-op. I knew going into bypass surgery that I had gall stones, but doc didn't take it out during surgery. I didn't gave any issues after surgery, but needed a total knee, so opted to get gall bladder taken out so I didn't risk infections after knee surgery. I'm glad I had gall bladder taken out, as the pathology report showed that I had a long standing inflammation/ infection that was not manifesting as a full blown gall bladder attack. Surgery was a breeze. I was headed out the door to go home about 1 hour after coming out of recovery. The best thing the anesthesiologist offered he was a nerve block on my abdomen. It lasted a couple if days, and allowed me to get around pain free in those days following surgery. Surgery was on Wednesday, and I went back to work the following Monday. If you are offered the block TAKE IT!

To the poster, couple of days on pain pills and soreness for a few more days. The back pain is relieved as soon as they remove it.

      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.
