Congrats and I hope all went well. Mine was on Oct 18th. I’m 1 week post op and finding things a bit tough.





Can you be more specific as to why it is tough? Im having surgery on 10/28/2017 and want to know as much as possible to try and prepare

I’m still having a lot of pain on mY left side. I’m struggling to get all my Water and Protein in. But I’m thinking it can only get better. I just don’t do well with pain. After reading about other people’s experiences I still don’t know the average time for the pain to leave.

My husband and I had our on the 18th too! It has definitely been tough to say the least but hopefully worth it in the end.





How’s the pain? I’m struggling with the pain still. I have a 4 year old who needs me so I’m hoping it stops/ gets better sooner then later

      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.
