My surgery went well. (4/19) First day was rough with nausea from the anesthesia and horrible gas pains! It gets better each day though! 3 days post op and I feel so much better. All the gas pain from surgery is gone. The only pain I'm having now is from two of my incisions. But it's not too bad The first two days my pain meds were a God send! I don't have any Gerd or anything...in 3 days I'm down 8 pounds so far My wonderful surgeon was Dr. Lufti at St. Joseph's hospital in Chicago

That's awesome. I'm glad to hear it gets better as the days go by. Im expecting the worst and hoping for the best. Im on my liquids today.

I had mine 4/19. I way, way under-estimated the pain and nausea though. Yesterday on day 3, I was having a mini pity party wondering why I did this to myself. Today day 4 has gotten better but I still feel really weak.

How are things going for you now?

Nausea is gone completely and I only have pain at one lap site when I stand up or sit down. Just Tylenol for pain now.

I was told not to gain weight or insurance wouldn't cover it. But your pre op diet will help you lose that.

It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?

Oh what a bummer. I am feeling good. Never had much gas or pain. Of course I am sick of liquids but it is temporary. I am having sleep issues. As in not being able to sleep more than a few hours and then I am wide awake. Keep a positive attitude that you will be doing fine after surgery... oh walk and try to get enough fluids in. I am 50 years old so I am slower in my older age. But I don't feel any regrets and am so happy I did this. Also I haven't had any nausea or have gotten sick to my stomach. You will do great..

      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.
