Hang in there i had mine a week ago & it gets better it really does. I was so nauseous and had so much gas pain in my chest it felt like a heart attack. But i am now getting around just fine and have zero pain! Just remember why you did it and it will get you through :)

I did to! I was cussing at the nurse and regretting it but once that pain went away i started to realize i could get through it! If your still in the hospital, definatly take them up on the pain meds! Mine offered to give me stronger ones to which were nice cause they just knocked me out for a bit!

I was super nauseous too after surgery and the nausea meds they put in my IV didn't help. The first night was really bad and one of my nurses stayed with me and did breathing techniques to get me through until I could fall asleep. Try some deep breathing! It will get better!

In a week you'll feel pretty much normal, maybe with a tiny bit of soreness but not bad. Just give it time, take it day by day, and do your best to get your Water and Protein in. Both are critical to the healing process, and you'll heal a lot faster and better if you get enough.

Day 2 was the worst for me. I had so much gas pain but by day 4 I was back to normal driving to the grocery store and walking very fast. I was able to sleep on my stomach by day 6 and today I'm like 'What surgery'? Lol I feel completely back to my old self. I was 303 on 10.14 (date of surgery) & as of today I'm 285.6

The pain is temporary! Stay strong

      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.
