I had my surgery on May 7th. When I awoke here's what happened.

1. I was soooooo sleepy.

2. My throat hurt

3. I wasn't hungry

4. I didn't walk :(

5. I had no problem getting up and down to the

6. Took pain meds 3 times

7. Lots of baby sips of Water which kind of hurt if the sips were too big. My orders were 15cc/ 15 minutes. I would drink half wait a minute then drink the other half

Day 2

1. I had slight pain in my left shoulder, when I spoke with the nurse she reminded me that while I was in surgery they filled me up with gas! The only way to get rid of it was to walk (duh) so off I went! And I honestly felt sooooo good!

2. I was not hungry again

3. I walked a mile in incriminates. I would walk come and rest then repeat until I reached a mile

4. No more shoulder pain!

5. I passed gas (early morning-sounds funny but you will understand why it's exciting when you do the sleeve

6. I ate lime jello! Not much again in baby bites

7. I had a bm!!!

8. I was released!!!! As soon I left I filled my pain meds just in case and bought chewable bariatric Multivitamins

9. I ate pudding an entire cup. It didn't hurt thanks to the baby bites

10. I rested :)

Day 3

I just keep feeling better and better! Still, I take it easy

1. I chewed my Vitamins

2. Started on 16 oz of Water

3. I ate pudding, homemade chicken broth, pudding with Protein powder. Never felt so full!

4. Went to the local grocery store and did my mile :) still giving myself breaks. Remember to take it easy

5. Went to a family get together for Mother's Day

6. Came home and rested

Day 4

I can drink water with bigger sips!!

Started out my day same as always. Also one thing I've realized, I haven't been nauseous since I had the surgery. Not once. I think it's because I take it easy. I know many people say that weight loss surgery is an easy out but that is completely false. This takes hard work and dedication! Remember that. Also, I have lost 5.3 lbs since my surgery 4 days ago. I don't feel weak or fatigued, because I acknowledge my super surgery. Good luck to you all and I will keep you updated:). I will be on the full liquid diet for 3 more weeks so my diet will be similar from now on.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
