I'm 4 weeks out & it definitely gets better! Regarding the thirst thing...sip, sip, sip! All day long I'm sipping Water or a Protein Shake. So while I don't use the restroom all that often, I also don't feel like I'm dying of thirst.

Believe all of us when we say you will be feeling a lot better in a few weeks. This is just a little bump in the road to your future success and weight loss.

I've never felt better and I'm down 18 lbs since surgery on the 29th.

Get ready for a new wardrobe!!

I am 12 days post op. I feel okay. No pain , incisions a little itchy cause they are healing. Like everyone says, sip liquids as much as you can. Hydrate.

The only issue I am having is, my tastebuds changed so much that nothing is appealing to me. :( I hope that goes away.

It is going to be so hard to go out to dinner with people again. For example, my BF parents come down from where they live and we gather to have wings. Like 6 of us. What the heck am I going to do then? lol

[[excuse me while I shake my Protein shake and sip it out of a thimbal]] ugh. lol

      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.
