3 days post-op and feeling much better!

Still have pain and am taking my meds but this is way better than those first 36 or so hours were. There's still a big adjustment to be had and I am working on it slowly, but oh man, I'm so glad I'm out of the woods, pain-wise.

I still haven't weighed yet -- I want to wait a full week post surgery. For now I am focusing on getting my liquids in and resting so I can heal. And walking, too, but with a 2 year old, I don't have much choice other than to be up and about most of the day.

Jury's still out on whether or not this surgery was the right decision for me yet, but I feel much much better than I did when I originally posted. Whew!

If you have surgery soon or just had it and are in pain, take heart! The pain is not forever (even if you're wondering if maybe it might be).

Thanks for the update! So glad that you're feeling better. I must admit that reading your original post started my anxiety . . . I am having surgery on the 13th. I hope you will continue to share your experience.

yay! so happy that you're feeling much better. i am anticipating that first week of pain and being down so i am trying to prep as MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN lol. my sleeved family members are saying i'm doing too much--but i'd rather be overprepped than underprepped and i don't want to take any chances not being able to have something i really need to make my life better.

thank you for the encouragement, and i'm sure you'll think surgery was right as soon as your body adjusts and you fall back into your old self again!

      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.
