Hi all,

I had my surgery on May 13... I had lap band removal, gastric bypass and gall bladder removal. Recovery has been though... First day wasn't that bad because I slept a lot that day after anesthesia and pain pump. I have been walking a lot as well but still haven't been able to pass gas which is one of the things that need to happen. I did pass my upper GI so I am allowed Clear Liquids. I am pretty swollen so I can't get much down, last night for dinner I had 2 oz of broth and could not fit another 2, it was amazing. So far no nausea or coming which is great. The hardest part is getting up and down from bed or chair because you use a lot of abdominal muscles. When pain meds wear out its not fun so looks like I will be taking those for few more days and I usually have pretty high pain tolerance. As you can see, recovery varies between individuals, my surgeon has also done a great job but my surgery was more complex. Lasted about 2 hours. Just wanted to give you feedback. Hope it all goes well for you :) have not been hungry yet so still not regretting it even though it's hard right now.

My surgery is on May 24th. I will have a 2 week pre-op liver reduction diet. I am excited but nervous. I have only today a few people, most of which have been amazingly supportive and understanding. I can't wait to officially be on the losers bench!

May 24th here too...where are you located? I'm in Waterloo Illinois

hi im May 24th also...New lenox, ILL...im excited but so nervous

I'm in Buffalo, Ny. I started my 2 week diet yesterday and it is going okay! I really want to eat something crunchy, but it'll all be worth it in the end!!

The two week liquid diet can be a boy challenging. Trust me I went through some true emotions with it. It really showed me my dependency I had with food. I'm 9 days in and I have to admit it does get better.

well I had the last of my preop appointments yesterday. They did an ekg, some bloodwork, pregnancy test etc. I met with surgeon and anesthesiologist and multiple nurses and the nutritionist. So now I am just counting down the hours! On Monday morning I go in at 750am and will have surgery at 950! My bff comes to visit tomorrow and we are going hiking and then I am clear liquids on Sunday. I can't believe it is almost here!

I just had my surgery done by Dr. Brethauer at the Cleveland Clinic on May 9th!

      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.
