First 3 days post op was hard. I am 8 days out, back to work and my surgeon told me today I was near perfect in my recovery. You may second guess but this is the best thing I have done and I bet you will feel the same.

Thank you for all the supportive messages - I'm feeling the love from the forums right now and I need it! I was sleeved at 8am this morning, and I woke up wishing I could get knocked back out lol nausea was worse than the pain....meds have taken care of both thankfully.

I'm just hanging out in my stylish hospital gown trying to rest. For the first couple of hours I was in full on regret mode but as the day goes on I am feeling much better.

Thanks everyone

So happy to hear you are doing well! They should be able to give you something for nausea, did you pass your leak test yet?

Hope Your Day is Great,

Glad to hear you are doing good! Nausea is such a terrible feeling. Ask for the Behring the ear patch, it works in conjunction to ur nausea meds

      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.
