Recommended Posts

AND I FEEL GREAT. I HAD MY SURGERY AT 2:00 AND WAS HOME BY 5:00. I ALSO HAD A HERNIA WHICH THEY REPAIRED. I WOKE UP FEELING GREAT, I HAVE BEEN WALKING AROUND THE HOUSE ALOT. I HAVE VERY LITTLE SHOULDER PAIN IF ANY. I HAVE NOT HAD TO TAKE ANYTHING AT ALL FOR PAIN. I WENT TO THE STORE WITH HUBBY JUST TO WALK A LITTLE MORE. I FEEL GREAT. I HOPE I FEEL THIS GOOD IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN ME.

I had my surgery 5 days ago and I feel great as well. Isn't it a blessing to have come through the surgery and look back now. It really wasn't as rough as I thought it would be. Now we have a long healthy journey ahead of us. My weight is very close to yours. I was 225 on surgery day and now I'm 219. Life is good!:mad:

lucky you I was banded 4 days ago and it wasn't until this morning I started to feel like myself.

I have been walking around the house and the drive way a lot. I have had the shoulder pain and gas.

I am glad you are feeling great!

      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.
