I had MGB surgery on 4/10/17 and am doing pretty good. Right when I woke up in recovery I was in a lot of pain but they gave me good meds for it. I didn't really have any gas pain so I was lucky there.

I did better with getting fluids in at first but last week was a challenge. I think I'm doing better this week but I don't have much of an appetite so I have to remind myself to eat, which is mainly puréed Soup and yogurt.

I'm so glad I had this surgery. All my worry beforehand was for naught.

Good luck my fellow April surgical compadres!

That is going on with me this week can't hardy get no Fluid in I went primary care doctor and he said I'm doing good and said I'm doing good on my weight lose I thank him from saying that but problems is not getting that much fluid in at all I did call the sugerson office and told me it will get better and drink what I can and don't try force no fluid in at all

Mines is tomorrow. I'm nervous as a hostage... A friend of mine just texted me from recovery. She said she's in pain.. I expect the pain. I'm just ready to get it over with. I'm ready for the healing process.. good luck with your surgery

Hi, I was sleeved 4/18 and had absolutely NO PAIN. Yes, the gas hurt but the surgery itself, nothing! I could sleep on my sides 2 hours after surgery. I wish you the same!

      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.
