I showered as soon as I got home, but they did offer it to me in the hosp. I have a surgical glue and that stayed put. Ditto what chacha77 said about baths.

My procedure was the 26th too. I came home Wednesday nite. The first nite home I didn't sleep at all. Last nite was better. My pain has decreased a lot. I do feel a little itchy around where my marks are. Still moving slow. Taking it one day at a time. I'm ready to go outside to walk but it's so dang hot. The dr told me not to go out in the heat. Walk around the house. What have you all been eating? I can do cottage cheese, but I do eat Greek yogurt with one splenda

Mudgy6 All I can have for 3 weeks is liquids. How is the cottage cheese and yogurt feeling?

Today I had a post op visit with my GP. My blood pressure before surgery has been consistently high for about a year now. Today it was 122/67! So cool to see signs that our bodies are getting healthier!

Every day is getting better pain and energy-wise. Passing gas, but no movement yet. Have been taking about three walks a day to help move things along. Yay kgarrettsatx on the weight loss!!

2 days post op (surgery on 27th).. My bowels are soooo gurgly and talking non stop. Hopefully something comes from all the noises? I'm able to get my Protein and Water in OK. Large incision is really tender and kind of concave and weird looking. Made the mistake of taking too large a drink today, instantly felt it in my chest- freaked me out.

How are you getting Protein? I am 3 days post op and can barely keep Water down. I'm so nauseous, I'm afraid to try anything else.

Had anyone tried eating or drinking since surgery? I've only been able to keep down a couple bites of yogurt and 2 sips of Soup besides Water, which still pains me. I feel like I need calories, but am afraid to eat.

Maybe just stick to liquids for a little bit? And try a variety of liquids. I've heard of peeps not tolerating Water, but find something else. I've been drinking a mixture of organic bone broth and organic chicken broth. (Bone broth has a lot of Protein in it, but I need the regular broth to add more taste to it) I heat it up, put it in a small thermos n then measure out my two tablespoon sips every 15 min. I've also tolerated premier Protein drinks, Vitamin water zero, milk, and sf popsicles so far. Keep trying, u r bound to find something. Did the hospital give you anti nausea pills? They sent me home with zofran. Its a pill that melts under your tongue. Tastes nasty, but works. Also, if it takes you much longer to get something down consistently I'd call your surgeon. Good luck and keep us posted.

Premier Protein banana and caramel drinks. They are still so tasty and 1 box has 30grams of protein in it.

Try drinking fluids at different temps. Try tea, sugar free popsicles, broth, etc. Do you don't anti-nausea pills?

      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.
