Hello ladies, I am on Day 2 post op (surgery was Wed morning) and I am in horrible pain! Standing up and sitting down my body just screams...is this normal? I'm assuming after a major surgery iris but want some reassurance. Thanks!

Try a binder, Spanxx, Flexee underwear.

Sorry, I know I haven't logged in lately. A lot been going on between family life and work. By the time I sit down at night, I am worn out. Things are going ok. I have lost 26 lbs since surgery. Was still really sore up til about a week ago. Still eating creamed Soups and liquids as I can't seem to eat any thing else yet. It hurts. Dr. wants me to try again tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to do better about checking in. Best wishes to all. Take care.

How are you feeling? I was in terrible pain also. I have just started feeling like myself for about the last week and a half or so. Hope you are feeling better and things are a little easier for you. Take care.

Well, I am down a few more pounds. I weigh less than I have in a lot of years. I am at 235 from 303 since my first consult on July 18, 2014. They want me to be at 200 by my next follow up on April 2. I have stalled out a few times on my weight. I still can't eat but a few teaspoons and I have to stop. For the last week though, I have been throwing up a lot. Not sure why. Very mucusy. And I know before hand as I get that "frothing" that they talk about. Shew....anyone else have that problem? Been very emotional too lately, which everyone is blaming my surgery mixed with hormones. I don't know. Can others share their experience since surgery? Would like to think I haven't gone off the deep end...lol. Thanks

Could very well be hormones.. when we lose weight, stored up hormones are released (estrogen).

      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.
