Had my surgery, but very sore.

Yeah then that's not okay. They should be documenting the correct thing in the computer system I hope.

Take your meds, walk walk walk, and drink fluids. Brace your tummy with a pillow while walking if you have to, it really helps! Definitely brace when you go from sitting to standing or when you cough!

Yeah, the hospital wasn't giving me my meds as often as they should have. They didn't even come in to make sure I was walking. It was a shitty hospital. Good thing my surgeon is fantastic. The only pain meds that helped me is Dilaudid. The liquid Norco barely touches the pain. I can't wait till I'm done with this liquid diet. I'm so sick of eating broth and Jello. I miss my Protein shakes and Tomato Soup. >_<;
I am so sorry to hear that. Everyone deserves that great care when they have such a life changing surgery. If it were me, I would report this hospital floor to the hospital administration. Again I am so sorry about that.

A lot of the pain that you are experiencing is because you body doesn't know what to do because things are no longer the way it was before and you were cut on and parts cut out. In time the pain begins to ease and movement becomes easier

      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.
