I was first up for surgery and it went well. Just a prob during stitching as i was bleeding non stop. Getting discharged this evening.

Have been smelling food all ard and cant wait to have actual food.

Btw anyone had trouble passing bowels or releasing gas? I feel so bloated.

Nora, I feel really bloated too.

My stomach is huge compared to how it normally is. I had surgery today in the morning, and already recovering at home.

I have been setting my alarm and actually walking for 5 minutes every hour. This helped as my legs are no longer swollen and my stomach less bloated... but not by a lot.

I've had no left shoulder, or chest pain. Just hurts when liquids hit my stomach---no matter how tiny the sip, or the type of liquid. Even Water ;( Taking my pain meds and milk of magnesia have not been fun!

      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.
