I'm out of surgery and one day post op. I'm sore and have gas pain when I try to drink but otherwise doing well. I am keeping everything down and should be home tomorrow.

I came home yesterday and wasn't in too much pain. This morning, though...WHAMO! I am in crazy pain! I'm also running a low grade fever. Is that normal?

Bring saline, bio teen chap stick. They were a great help to me. I'm recovering and stayed with my diet like a flea on a blue tick coonhound! Walk walk walk the walk some more. Sipping is key also. You guys and dolls know this but I'm proof that it can be done. Peace to you all !

Yikes! That's no good. I just thought it was my body trying to heal itself. Is this worth an after hours call, or can it wait until the morning?

      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.
