Surgery went well. Just really sore and a little nauseated. Staying one more night. They took me off iv and trying to get all my fluids down and walk. Hope everyone else's surgeries went well. Love you guys and this support group we have!

@sooonergirl619 - so awesome to here! I am still in the hospital, too... Doing good here, as well :) I'm about 17 hours out and I have also decided to stay another night. How much/often are you walking.? My nurses here do not encourage me to walk, so I need to request it or just do myself. Also, I'm always nauseous after walking... When does that go away?

Good luck to those having surgery today.

I started my liquid diet today...Two more weeks till my big day.

@@dede0314 - so awesome, good luck! The two weeks goes by fast, but know it is hard to believe. I will say that day 2-3 were hard for me... I had the carb flu, big time :( yet when that time passes, an amazing clarity took place.... I was often not hungry, was satisfied earlier, and had a newfound energy :)

I'm 10 hours out from my surgery and still in hospital. I'm doing great and excited about the road ahead! :)

It is 5:30am and I'm awake and restless, but doing well! About to try and walk again. I made myself change into my own gown and I am so glad I did... makes me feel less vulnerable, some how. I'm hoping day 2 is complication-free and I continue to feel this positive and excited! :) wish me luck! :) Also hope my fellow surgery date friends are doing wonderfu!

Thanks! Yesterday was kind of hard because the shakes aren't agreeing with my stomach... I'm suppose to drink 4 1/2 shakes a day but I only managed three... Hope you're doing well... Praying for a speedy recovery

They have me walking every 2 hours and at night every 4. I feel nauseous after too. I have a patch for that. Really sore on my left side too.

My vision was very blurry after surgery. Just started getting a little better yesterday. It was crazy! I couldn't see even with my glasses.

I think the eyesight/contacts/glasses thing is because of the pain medication, opioids cause your pupils to constrict.

      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.
