Just had my surgery on July 25. Can't believe how well it went. After surgery I was just extremely tired, was very nauseous the next morning but with meds it went away. Up walking day 1, stayed in hospital 2 nights and went home Wednesday 27. Am feeling really good, being careful not to overdo things. Needed a nap after a shower! Lol. Can't believe that there was no pain after, just minor discomfort. Now let the losing begin!

Hooray for you!!!! Glad to hear things are going so well. Just remember once you get home from the hospital the most important thing you can do for yourself is stay hydrated. It is then that so many don't realize how important those liquids are to how they make you feel.

Sip sip sip even if it means holding that darn cup in your hands constantly. If you sip, you don't become nauseous, dizzy and weak. It also helps flush all the toxins from surgery.

Walk walk walk - this helps get rid of that terrible gas used during surgery and that gas really is the cause of most everyone's discomfort. The more you walk, the faster it leaves your body

I really hope you have a smooth recovery and are well on your way to better health. Now comes the exciting part! A whole new life for you!

      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.
