I am doing well. The gas pains haven't been too bad until today. Still not overly painful but I think it's all trying to escape now. We have been taking lots of walks. My two year old just bumped my side with his knee and that hurt. Poor thing didn't mean to. Other than that I am just trying to get Water and Protein Shakes down. When do you go home?

the night of surgery wasn't bad even yesterday was cool as far as pain has yrs bug not unbearable. Today..OMG...woke up feeling like I was in a fight with body shots being thrown and I didn't win, lol. Everything hurt like hell. I'm on liquid pain meds now. No more I.V. meds. Started puree's today also. Could only eat a couple forks. It tasted really good but jus couldn't eat it. The doc mentioned me going home today but not sure yet... I hope you are doing better.

Lucky you! I'm still on liquids! I'm ready for some soft foods. The gas pains are still bad but I'm walking, walking, walking! I know how you feel though. You start to feel good then BAM...not so much! I hear that a week out we will feel better. Not 100%, but better.

hi, im feeling better this morning happy to be home in my own bed. The gas pains are minimal i feel them and hear the gas racing around my stomach but no pain from them. I can definitely tell when the pain meds are wearing off. I am happy to be on pureed although i cant eat that much it was hearty. Still sticking with my broths. They are heaven warm & hearty. Been working on my Protein Shakes as welln& Water. I got a lecture from my surgical team about dehydration and i dont want that. Hope things are good with you, relaxing, healing & resting at home.

      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.
