Gas pains were the worst part of the whole procedure! My 2nd day I had my wife bring out heating pad from home and I placed it longways down my back and it was incredible! I did that for about another 2 days, along with walking as much as possible, and it went away. 3 weeks post op now and feeling great. It gets much better, but anyone doing the surgery BRING A HEATING PAD! You'll be so glad you did!

Hi all ! Today I am 4 days post surgery and it is the first day that I feel any better but still not great. Still have a lot of gas and am having trouble getting in fluids but at least today I feel like i may have a fighting chance. I need to keep walking as all advise. Really enjoy the boards because I feel like I am not alone in this. Thanks .

      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.
