Sorry to hear about your pain. I can relate. Today has been a much better day for me. Sending you all hugs and healing energy.

This is all just temporary.

How is everyone recovering? I still have awful belly gas, but otherwise I'm ok.

My surgery was 3/31 and today is the first day I feel ok....I got the first full nights sleep in 4 days so I'm sure that have something to do with feeling better. Every sip hurts and taking pills hurts even more. Every day I hope to feel better.

I feel good. I've never been so grateful to pass gas though. I'm struggling with the chewable Vitamins and need to find some that taste better. Iced herbal mint tea has been wonderful to soothe my stomach, and I've been working hard to meet my Protein and Fluid intake goals. My kids came to visit and made the last few days so wonderful; they all waited on me, brought takeout of my favorite Soup and made sure I had plenty of fliids. We went for walks and I just felt so supported. I feel pretty good overall. I'm just trying to be kind and gentle to myself during this period. Gonna spend this next week focusing on exercise and meeting my nutritional goals.

I'm really amazed at how I feel when reading others post. The first day was horrible I said why did I do this to myself. Second day a little better. By the third day I felt normal I couldn't believe it. I didn't have gas pain at all but I did suffer from some burning up under my apron belly with a funny odor. I think the stuff they give us to wash before surgery was not right for me...it was chloride wash.

So my husband had his sleeve done yesterday...He is hanging in there. In prep and holding I got to talk to Dr Peters and he asked me how I was... I told him I was struggling with crushing the meds and basically wasn't taking my pills. He said, "oh we are starting to tell people to just take them now and not to crush them...the ursodial is big so break it in half and take half in morning and half at night"... Don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED! But geez, what a difference a week makes... I was sleeved exactly 1 week prior... So there you have it... I was so scared of getting a leak from heaving and throwing up from trying to swallow crushed pills... Can go back to my pills and so so so need my antidepressant...been getting harder and harder to get off the couch!

  • @Phillygirl_in_DE awesome...and I bet you are happy to be moving on to pureed! So I completed my pre-op items but was awaiting the sleep apnea results. They called me today and said I had severe sleep apnea (63 events per hour, 83 when on back) so I have to get a CPAP. I called the surgeons office and seems they just need some info from my doctor before submitting to insurance. So hopefully a surgery date is coming soon!

      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.
