Shelly I know how you feel, I was afraid of complications as well. I'm a believer, I prayed prayed prayed and left it I Gods hands. The last words I said as the Dr was putting me to sleep was , "God protect me" I had no complications and was back to work in 5! Days. I went shopping at costco on day 2! Praise Him!!

He did a great job charging His angels over you! [emoji4]

I'm just now able to drink without pain. Still
Can't drink a lot tho. I also had hiatal hernia surgery at the same time so maybe that's why.

I had an awesome surgeon that performed such a good job I didn't need a fairy tale "god" to help with me..
I went back to work two weeks later doing an extremely physical job and have had no issues.
Wasn't tired just a a little fatigued for a couple of days.

That's a rude statement. If you don't believe in God that's on you and your soul, but don't
Call God a fairy tale honey you may need him one day.

I took off six weeks. I was physically better after 4 weeks, but the fatigue remained an issue even for my first couple of weeks back to work.

Thanks all. I was scared said my prayers before I went to sleep and hope for the best three recovery and hope for zero complications. Doesn't matter how good the surgeon is you always have a chance of getting a leak.


Sending prayers your way. You'll do fine!

      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.
