I'm right there with you. Lots of pain post op, I had surgery on Wednesday. I hope it gets easier for you. I'm doing a bit better today which is giving me some sense of mind.

Eating really isn't the point right now. Just focus on Water and little sips of broth for a week or so, walking and relaxing.

I'm right there too. I was sleeved on Wednesday. The pain for me has been tolerable, I'm struggling with horrible nausea. Yesterday i only got my protien chicken broth amd half a bottle of Water in, everything makes me want to throw up. :( i went off of ny pain meds at the rnd of day 2 and that has helped a little but now my stomach is growling and gurgling like crazy and now im battling diarrhea. Praying we both get feeling better soon!!!

I was also sleeved yesterday and because I was unable to even keep Water down, I have to stay amother night. Today has been a lot better though. They think it was the pain medicine making me sick, so we stopped that. I didnt have any gas pains, just feel like ive done a thousand crunches, lol. Good luck to everyone and prayers for speedy recoveries [emoji4]

Day 17 - down 22 lbs from surgery. Heading back to work on Tuesday. Currently on purees. Some residual nerve damage/pain to the left of my belly button. chewable Probiotics might be my best friend. Incisions are almost all the way healed.

Wearing an abdominal binder for additional support/gentle reminder not to lift.

Me too!! I had surgery Thursday. The upper GI that was done to check for leaks made me so sick and the pain meds made me nauseous too. They changed my pain meds and gave me a medication for nausea. It's been better since yesterday evening. I have the rubbles and gurgling too. And had diarrhea as soon as I got home. Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one. I hope it passes soon. Hope your feeling better soon.

I just had surgery on Wednesday as well. The gas pain was absolutely miserable but luckily just about gone now. I had a drain and the removal was the weirdest thing I have ever experienced. I usually get nauseous very easily so I've been sooo happy that I haven't been sick and am handling 50-60 ounces of Fluid per day without problem. I hope all my fellow April sleepers are continuing to recover well!

I had surgery Thursday. The first day was a struggle. Today I got about 50 oz in Water, sugar free Jello, sugar free water ice and broth.although my stomach doesn't seem to like very cold stuff. I haven't taken any more pain meds other than Tylenol. I am more uncomfortable than in pain. Gas is making its way through without major pain.. so far so good hope everyone is feeling better every day!

I had surgery yesterday and first day was horrible. I was in a lot of pain and horrible gas pain in my shoulder. I didn't have a lot of issues with nausea except when given pain meds but was able to keep it down and it passed within a few minutes. Today I was allowed to drink Water through the day and I have been walking a lot. This definitely helped with gas pain. Tomorrow I can start a liquid diet and if I am able to keep it down I should get to go home.

      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.
