I'm two days post-op and feeling great! I think the worst part is the gas pain. Another person I met gave me some gasx strips and they do help. I read somewhere on this site that it feels like you did a killer ab workout and I would have to agree. Not bad at all though!

I'm glad you are feeling great. Today is 5 days post op and I'm miserable. I can't get enough Protein down. After I drink I feel so full I could vomit. Maybe it has to do from throwing up so much the day I had surgery ... maybe I have additional swelling? I'm starting to think I made a mistake. .

I am day 6 post op. Went in weighing 222 and came out weighing 228. I was told it was due to the liquids. I weighed today and I am 215 a 13 pound drop since I left the hospital 5 days ago. I am up and moving around even went shopping. I did the pre op liquids for a week prior and my doctor had me on solid foods on the 5th day post op in small amounts I have to eat 60 grams of Protein a day. But I can hardly finish this amount because I am not hungry. All in all I would say the worse part was the liquids. I have no regrets I am glad I got the surgery.

I think plateaus are perfectly normal. the weight WILL come off, we just have to stick with it. :)

I had my surgery on the 24th, and had my staples taken out yesterday. I feel okay most of the time, but like most ppl here I get gas pains. also my shoulders still hurt like I've been lifting weights. ???? starting to ease into purees now, and oh boy is it nice to have some more solid food after four weeks pre-op on shakes and now two weeks post-op on liquids.

      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.
