After reading this I've discovered that I'm super lucky so far in avoiding these problems. I'm not very sore, liquids going down fine, and have enough energy. I'm sooooooooo sorry things aren't going so well for others ;) I did have a hellish day yesterday (surgery day) from gas and nausea but it seems to have passed.

Make sure you're all getting in enough Protein and stuff even though that may be hard. You need good nutrition to heal! I hope it all gets better for all of you! We've all worked hard to get to this point.

Just keep thinking of after you heal! You will be back on solid foods and happily eating (small portions) yet losing weight! Certainly something to look forward to! Take care of yourselves and get better fast!

every passing day finds me feeling better and better. i am not as tired in the afternoons, not as sore. all my incision are healing nicely, i have some drainage from the port site, but they said that is normal and expected.

today i am wearing jeans! i hadnt yet b/c they irritated my one incision when i sit and i sit alot at work. but, today, i did the rubber band trick from when i was prego and its working great. besides they are falling off already! even when i have them butttoned right, they are big! i am so excited. already thinking of all the new clothes i will get to buy. :whoo:

i start mushies in a few days. i am surprised that the liquids havent been as hard as i thought. dont get me wrong, i have had my occassional melt down and wanting of "real" food, but its ok. i am ok. i am good. i am losing!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
