Had my surgery yesterday day!! When I woke up I was in an incredible amount of pain. It took the nurses a while to get my pain under control and managed. But that have done a excellent job. I'm sipping Water with no problem and walking. I do have a hard time getting comfortable. There is always a pulling pressure type pain on my left side. I don't have the gas pains I've heard other talk about. I'll probably be going home tomorrow. Each day will be better than the last. I feel very thankful for my surgeon and her staff.

My Surgeon told me that the left incision is where they put the instruments through and sometimes the pain gets so bad that some need to go into the office and get a Lidocaine shot. They cut the nerves. I was doing great and then one morning I got up and thought I did something wrong. I finally called them and that is what he told me. Just keep that in min d. Congratulations on your surgery.

      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.
