I only took pain meds for the first 4 days. Im really sensitive to narcotics so I wanted off of those ASAP. I still have 16 of the 30 they gave me. Im still having trouble getting in all the Protein and Water they want me getting in. Iv never been a big drinker so i knew this would be my biggest challenge. Im sure im about to get fussed at.

Just got in from first post op appointment. Everything going well and healing good. I've never had high blood pressure but the reading today hasn't been that low in a couple of years. 110/66. It normally runs 110-120 over 60-70 but like i said the last couple of years has been 127 over 73or around there. That was a suprise. I'm also down 6 pounds since surgery last Tuesday. A total of 13 pounds including the 7 from pre op liquid diet. Im pleased.

Had my surgery yesterday. Incisions are pretty sore and the gas is uncomfortable. They found a small ulcer while doing the surgery that she fixed for me. Barely getting my Water in, hurts when it hits my stomach. But from reading on her everyone says it gets better each day. So ill just keep breathing, walking, sipping, and taking my meds!

Had mine yesterday too. Today seems a little worse than yesterday but it may be that I didn't take my meds in time so it let the pIn and nausea sneak in. Trying to get my liquids in. My stomach keeps grumbling like I am hungry. This worries me a little because I though they took out the part of your stomach that signals hunger.

My stomach grumbled and rumbled a LOT my first two weeks. Then it stopped.

      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.
