The first 24hrs were definitely hard for me. Mostly my recovery from being put under for the surgery. I didn't even feel like taking and liquids that day. I was doing ice chips. I was able to walk a few times that evening, but I slept most of the day. The next morning I went off my pain pump and that made a huge difference. I was able to take in more fluids and I walked about 7times that day. It really helped move the gas out.

Had my surgery yesterday and I'm feeling pretty good, need to walk more but I'm so tired from the meds that it's hard to get up but I'm doing pretty good on my liquids. How's all the other post-op people doing?

My Surgery is February 21st. I am so excited. My doctor has not had me on any pre-op diet but I go in on the 15th for all my pr-op testing so I am sure he will talk to me about that then.

EGD on February 9th went very well. (I don't remember a thing). Lol. Visit with the anesthesiologist on Monday, then Surgery the next day. Tuesday February 14, 2017. I thought this day would never come. I'm so ready for this. Bring it on. I'm can't wait to start living a healthy and more active life. I can see the future and it's full of bike rides, hiking with my fur babies and kayaking with my hubby. Best wishes to all. What a great community, can't wait to share the rest of my journey with you.

      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.
