Came home on Wednesday. Only had to stay one night. The gas was the tough part but it's finally subsiding. Today I almost got all my Fluid and Protein in so I'm happy for that. Other than a little soreness I have to say It wasn't as bad as I thought.

I hope all of you are doing well. Keep me posted!

Hi everyone!! Sorry I haven't checked in before now. Sounds like you all are doing great. I had a great surgery, doc found a hiatal hernia and repaired it, pretty rough time after surgery but it was mostly due to gas pain and a nurse that was not very helpful. My catheter was bent wrong or something and I was in excruciating pain because I had to pee and it wouldn't let me. I had trouble getting help with that and didn't receive any pain meds until 4 hours after surgery. As soon as they fixed my catheter and gave me pain meds, it's been so much better!! I have had 2 c-sections and this is so much easier for me. I had to reduce my pain meds a couple days after surgery so I would slow down. I thought maybe I wasn't feeling enough and I would hurt myself by doing too much.

I actually feel amazing and have so much energy. I did not expect to feel this good so soon. I'm down 20lbs including 5 day pre-op diet and had to get a new pair of jeans yesterday! Woohoo!!

How are all of you doing? I'm almost 6 weeks post op and doing great. Got back to the gym today and it felt great. I can't believe how much easier it is on my joints now that I'm down 37lbs. And the stretching! I can fold in half again :) I did have 1 little moment that I had to stop the treadmill ???? I accidentally took too big of a sip of Water and it almost came back up. Luckily it passed and I was able to hop back on and finish my workout. That would have been super embarrassing!

      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.
