Thank you for posting everyone. I'm day 3 post op with severe spasms and shoulder pain and just feeling tired and bummed. So happy that it gets better

Ok so I am now 9 days post op and the spasms have finally stopped. My surgeon told me to buy buscopan tablets from pharmacy which helped immensely. I finally feel I've turned the corner :-)

I am also 9 days post op now and finally feeling pretty good again. I was swollen like a beach ball until last night. This morning it finally came down significantly! Hooray! I am also no longer having the spasms. Hang in there it really does get better.

This has definitely been a tougher recovery than I anticipated. However, I am still glad I chose this and am excited to have my new tool helping me change my life!

June 10 was surgery day. During this recovery stage, I've regretted it every day so far. I think it could bet anxiety getting to me. The discomfort and pain I'm in makes me feel like I've been defeated. That I had to go through this extreme to lose weight.

When will the pain and discomfort end? When will it get better ????

Are you feeling any better yet?

Thank you for asking. I feel really good. However there are days where the port area hurts and seems to swell ( bulge out). I'm not sure why. Really I'm just dealing with it.

My port area hurts too, I think it's pretty normal. I'm glad your feeling better. This surgery really effects your body physically and mentally more than I thought it would. Hang in there

Amen to that! You said it right. Definitely mentally along with physically. I've been an emotional rollercoaster. I just keep here for positive thoughts, and keep in mind that it will get better. Hope all is well with you. ????????????

      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.
