My incisions feel fine what is bothering me is my throat from the tube. It feels better when I suck on ice pops. No problems getting in my Protein and Water. Went to the grocery store today with my parents and it felt great to get out and walk around. Walking around my neighborhood okay. 6 pounds down since surgery. I can't wait to go on full fluids on Wednesday. I am going back to work on the 6th, I am actually looking forward to it.

How is everyone else doing?

Hi everyone!!! Day 1-4 has not been the greatest for me but I'm feeling much better today.... Been able to sip water,protein shakes, and tea.... I find that sipping ginger and peppermint tea has been helping my horrific gas pain situation tremendously along with walking of course... I'm on Tylenol with codeine for pain every 4 hours for pain and it works well...so glad to hear everyone is ok post op!!!

What do you put inn your tea to sweeten it up. I bought stevia but its awful...

Just checking in to see how my fellow June 24thers are doing. I have had a little soreness for the last few days, but today I woke up and feel completely normal. I even woke sleeping on my stomach. Weight loss is happening too! Hope everyone is feeling good going into the weekend!

Hi, I'm glad your feeling better. I feel great today but a couple days ago I passed out because I had been unable to get enough liquid and Protein in. Now I am able to and I am feeling great. I only took a pain pill the night I came home on the 25th other than that just tolerable pain.

I'm doing great. I had my 1 week follow up with my surgeon. I'm getting in plenty of liquids and got moved to full liquids, so no more clear Protein Drinks. Now I'm having the creamy ones, which makes me much happier.

Just a tiny bit of soreness of incisions (mainly the underneath sutures of the muscles), but no real pain since last week. I have energy, and I'm thrilled with this decision. I'm glad to hear you guys are doing well! Keep it up!

Everything good here! I have moved on to mashed/ puréed foods, have lost 30 lb, and feel pretty normal. This whole thing has been easy... Though, I think I am starting to feel hunger. Wasn't expecting that, at least not yet.

I've lost almost 30 since the start of my preop diet 1month ago), about 10 since surgery. Started mashed foods yesterday with a scrambled egg and it didn't go well (vomited). Tilapia went better last night, but I can only eat about an ounce of solids. No other issues here!

      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.
