How everything went on your first day of your new jounery and how are doing after your surgery

First day right after the surgery was very hard but as every hour passed it got easier and easier.

I feel good most of the time aside from the gas pain which is helped by a heating pad

That is good and hope gas pain will go away soon

@Emileana congrats and happy you're doing well. My surgery is tomorrow and I'm petrified. How long did it take to get your pain under control?

The hospital staff really helped with this. I did end up taking morphine while in hospital and they sent me home with a prescription that I have been taking ever since. But I only take 1 pill every 6 hours now opposed to 2 every 6 hours. Every day gets easier.

Mine is TOMORROW!!! Excited and scared and happy and a tiny bit nervous. (Especially because a giant hernia is being repaired at the same time.) But I have faith. And lots and lots of prayers going up.

Jhope71 im right behind you. 4/11. Hernia repair also. Yes lots of prayers for us.[emoji4]

      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.
