Back at home, happily recovering.????Everything I've been researching has come in really handy! I feel great but perhaps the pain meds are clouding my judgement. I'm surprised with how much I can move around.

How is everyone doing?

My surgery was Monday, so I am 3 days post-op. Sore, but no longer needing my pain medicine. I am having trouble sleeping at night, as I'm only comfortable on my back. I actually feel better standing and walking around than sitting or lying down. I spent one night in the hospital so I could stay on my IV. Then the "leak test" was done the morning after surgery. So far, so good. But I am experiencing "head hunger," I want to bite into a cheeseburger, just for nostalgia's sake!

My surgery was Monday 11/9. Doc said it couldn't have gone better, but i had real difficulty keeping pain meds down on tuesday, so they made me stay for another night. One incision is crazy painful, the rest I don't feel at all. It took 4 staff and an ultrasound machine to get a line on me, so I look bruised and battered.

Because of my uncontrollable painkiller induced nausea and vomiting, I could only keep Water down. The hospital food was naaaaaasty. They released me yestersay. Today I've had cream Soup and yogurt.

My tummy is making lots of gurgley noises, and it hurts to cough, sneeze and laugh.

Sorry to hear you're having a bit of trouble. Make sure to hold a pillow on your tummy when you cough, sneeze or laugh. That should help the pain. Hope you get feeling better soon.

4 days to go for me.

Thanks for your stories, ladies. I wish everyone the best of luck.

I dreamt of eating something not liquid (I'm still on stage 2). Woke up panicked then happy I hadn't gone there. Head hunger is a sneaky opponent.

Here's to steady progress! Hip hip hooray!!????

had surgery 11/19. spent the night and was released at noon the next day. surgery and recovery was rough for me due to never being put to sleep or having any surgery done .before. got to felling much better once I got home. spent all day Saturday at the gym watching basketball tournament. I highly recommend destination weight loss in Guntersville al.

$10,000 includes everything even a night in the hospital.

      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.
