Nurse thinks I might have developed a lactose intolerance since the surgery so I'm going to cut out the chobani drinking yoghurt and see if that helps

I'm not taking endone, haven't since I was discharged on sat. I'm surviving on neurofen and panadol. And I'm eating baby food for my meals, it's so easy, portion controlled.

I was having Soup but I found I was eating too much and it was hurting. So got onto the baby food, nurse suggested it as another patient had done it and it's just so much easier!

Oh it hurt to cough or breath deeply for about a week for me. I'm waiting at dietician to hopefully progress to mushy food!! I went for a walk yesterday, did about 500metres and I was out of breath. Crazy! Saw my GP last night she said that's expected after surgery. So I'm going back to walk the same lake today and see how far I get this time.

I'm only taking 1 endone at night and that's to help me sleep on my side. But tonight I'm going to try no endone and see how I go

I had one or two bouts of nausea but I managed it ok. It DEFINATELY does get better. I'm two weeks post surgery tomorrow and feeling pretty good! Just make sure you keep taking painkillers on a regular basis, that was my downfall. I'd wait till I was sore then I'd take painkillers

I ended up with a hernia being operated on too, so might have been why I was tender across my diaphragm area

      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.
