The pain gets better the more you move. Walk walk walk...When you're done walking, walk some more.

It will get better, this is just one small part of your journey. I'll be 1 month out on Wednesday, and I feel so much better each week.

Just remember this is not the end, it's only the beginning! Hang in there! Stay hydrated!

When I had my sleeve in November 2016 I was in pain and had to stay two days in hospital because my esophagus was swollen & I couldn't even keep Water down the first day. I was in pain for a whole week I took my liquid pain medication and i was pain free after that. This is the beginning of your new awesome journey so be excited every day that you made the right choice for your health

      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.
