Got home last night. Surgery was a breeze. Recovery has its ups and downs. The first night I was in so much pain but they couldn’t give me strong pain meds because I didn’t tolerate them well. Next day I was up walking but still tight and sore. And of course I started the period from hell.
I have the worst pain from hiccups. After surgery I hiccup constantly. I only have four incisions the biggest one being in my belly button.

Sounds like me. I haven't had hiccups, but had some strong pains like I wanted to burp but couldn't like it was stuck. I have 4 incisions and a drain port. I got home on Thursday, surgery was Tuesday....no pain meds since I got home although I could have. Just didn't want the Constipation I've read about so much. Thank goodness I'm passed periods!! That had to be awful.

Hey Im getting sleeved December 19th. Going through pre op diet right now sure excited for surgery.

I'm also the 19th. Pre-op diet is pretty difficult for me. I feel hungry almost all the time. How is it for you? I'm going to Mexico so I'm pretty nervous. My dad was asking me about infection rates last night. Ugh.

Hi guys,

I had surgery yesterday 12/08/17 and I felt ok.. no nausea and started with ice chips then Water and now broths. No major pain other that a little more soreness in the bigger incision where they took my stomach out of.

Hi guys I'm 2 days post op and I still feel a bit sore at the big incision. I have a rolled up towel over it for extra pressure that feels better! I was discharged yesterday and working on the liquid intake[emoji4] up to 80 oz.. I don't think I'll make it to 80 but I'm going to try my best! Anyone out there have advice for Fluid intake post surgery?

Congrats!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery. The first few days I wasn’t hitting my Water goals at all but I was always sleeping. Yesterday I only took my pain meds at night so I was able to get to 56oz of fluids. Still not all the way there but close. I just sip sip sip all day. And I change it up water to broth to ice pops to watered down prune juice. Just make sure you stay with in your programs limitations.

      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.
