Generally it does get much better over time. But it won't happen overnight. It took me around 6 months to reach a happy state when all the problems seemed to melt away. It is important to walk around 30 minutes each day. It will dramatically help with the healing, recovery and relieving the pain.

You have the first three weeks surgery blues. It will get better when you can eat soft foods. I'm almost 4 months post op gastric bypass, I felt awful...especially mentally until I could eat soft/pureed foods. Once you can eat something again your spirits will improve.

@@Sherelle28441 I'm 7 days post op , I'll get better

Girl ! Keep moving as much as you can , I still have pain off and on and soreness but my surgeon said it's normal . Just like everyone said it'll get better in time . I know there's discomfort from the gas they pump you with , pain and everything is trying to adjust with your new tummy . Hang in there !

      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.
