Hey everyone! I know I said I felt like crap after my surgery, and boy, did I ever! But today I feel pretty good! I'm no longer feeling the gas pains in my shoulder and the cramping feeling in my legs is almost gone. My stomach barely hurts at all. My incisions aren't even that tender. My only challenges are drinking 64 oz of liquid and emptying my bladder. I've probably only gotten in 30 oz at most today. It's really hard because there's still excess gas in my stomach, so even when I sip, it feels like a gas bubble is getting stuck in my esophagus and popping in my stomach. Also, I'm having a hard time emptying my bladder. For some reason, I always get Post-Operative Urinary Retention after surgery. It only lasts for about 3-5 days. But gosh, it's so annoying and uncomfortable.

Other than that, I'm doing great! I can't wait until Tuesday, when I can start drinking my Protein Shakes and having Tomato Soup. Yummy! :D

I'm so happy to hear that! Is swallowing easier? I'm still having a bit of a hard time.

I'm still not able to get my full amount of fluids, but I'm getting closer everyday. I still have to make sure that it's slow and steady, but it does get easier. Tomorrow I'm done with week one post-op

Hang in there!!

Tomorrow is my last day on clear fluids. I'm so excited because I actually love Protein shakes. I'm getting kinda sick of broth and Powerade Zero, lol! Thanks for your response! <3

      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.
