Anyone else have intense pain after sitting for any length of time? I went with my family to a movie tonight and walking out my pain was crazy intense and I got nauseous. Just took a Zofran and am laying down with an ice pack. TIA

Hi Fellow Sleevers!

That's awesome! My post op appointment is Wed 12/9. My drain was removed in the hospital before I was discharged so I don't have to worry about that.

I'm still nervous though. My surgeon is very strict and not easily impressed, and I've had a very hard time with getting in my Protein and Water. I just know he's not gonna be too happy with me. On paper I'm sure it looks like I haven't been doing what I should but I don't know how to do more...it just feels like nothing else will fit! I have yet to use the bathroom either. I took Milk of Magnesia this morning and it was still a no-go (ha). ????

I agree, getting all the Fluid and Protein in is like a full time job. I am supposed to be getting 48 oz. of liquid. Haven't hit more than 32 yet. Have you tried sugar free Popsicles? Those seem to go down easiest for me. If it means anything, the dr. told me today not to worry too much about pooping as long as I wasn't feeling super bloated and uncomfortable. Let us know how Wed. goes, Brianna!

      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.
