We're you on a liquid diet pre op and did you habe to do a colon prep prior to surgery? I was on liquids for 2 weeks then colon prep the day before surgery so I was pretty well cleaned out. Then didn't go for a week after surgery until I took milk of mag.

I had surgery yesterday.

Worst pain I ever felt.
The incisions don't hurt. It's the gas.

I am better today and will be better tomorrow.

The gas is no joke. Also do the breathing exercises. I could not talk yesterday and my voice came back today.

Had my surgery on the 15th and the gas was a real pain! I'm 6 days post op and it's long gone now. I had the surgery on a Thursday and it was pretty much gone by Monday. It was indeed painful, but thank god it was short-lived.

The gas for me was the worst part too. I used a lot of chewable gas-x that first week.

I dropped 13 lbs my first week after surgery (6/28/17). This week I've only lost 1! My doctor says I should be losing a pound a day initially. I've been having trouble getting all my Protein down. It's too sweet now. I can't stand it!
I say all of that to say it's a process and I'm trying not to focus on the weight loss but making sure I'm eating and drinking on schedule. The weight loss will happen. [emoji2]

      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.
