Hi there the first day has been hell , I didn't expect to be in so much pain and the Nausea was horrible . I feel 100 time better this morning and it seem to help to get up and walk as soon as you have a period of time that you don't feel like throwing up . So I'd thought I'd make sure and tell anyone going into walk walk walk as soon as possible I couldn't until 2 am . But once I could my pain is so much better I'm looking forward to this new life , my first nurse actually had this surgery a yr ago she's lost all her weight and she said I will never regret it .

Every day gets easier and easier. The first week after surgery is by far the worest but you will feel pretty good by one week.

Hang in there. Good luck

Can you let us know your day by day progress? I'm so curious of diff things you go through at this stage... if you have YouTube channel...maybe document it?? I'm jst starting a YouTube chnnl & I'm going to take videos as much as I can throughout the process....one: for something to look back on for motivation when I hit "stalls" & two: so others who have many questions can at least see what I'm going through...

I put up a "test video" last night...jst because...but I am going to start documenting my PreOp visits, shopping for things I'll need postop, my actual surgery date (film as much as I can in the hospital), post op (pain & water/food/vitamin intake) etc....

If anyone wants to watch or follow: look for ..."BariatricGirl 4life" under R&Y intro (I think)... more to come!! ????

      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.
