I am 5 days postop and almost feeling back to normal haven't had any problems yet minor pain only from the main incision. Was having trouble getting fluids in but today they advanced me to full liquid so i was able to get in a full Premier Protein shake and 1 bottle of Water so far and a little bit of sugar free pudding made with almond milk.it tasted like heaven after the clear liquid diet.im down 4 lbs so far. Mothers day was kinda hard watching everyone eat but i sat away with my Protein and water.I am just so glad its over I was so freaked outand almost cancelled. I cried halfway to the hospital and was 2 hrs early my surgeon took me right in and said he was doing me early so I had no chance to back out.Now that its over this has been the easiest and fastest recovery I have had with any of my surgeries. I am so happy so far cant wait to get to soft food

Hello to all. My surgery is tomorrow I have to be at the hospital at 10:00am. I'm nervous and sad at the same time. Sad that I'm losing most of my stomach. Please pray for me that I have a easy recovery. I'm ready to begin my new life.

My surgery date is May 28 th. Starting to get a little anxious now. Had pre op lab work done today. I will be seeing my surgeon on the 19 th and a class at his office then go to the hospital to see the anesthesia department. I am in the process now of trying different Protein Shakes to see what's tolerable. Which ones have you all found that you like?

I'm having the procedure on 5/28 too. I have a preop class on the 19th too. I met with my surgeon last week.

I like the Premier Protein drinks. My fave is the strawberries and cream but my daughter in law likes the chocolate and vanilla.< /p>

      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.
