Hello everyone,

I was sleeved on Wednesday. Since I’m self Pay I only stayed one night . I woke up in a lot of pain.i just took my meds and trying to stay hydrated. I’m waiting for my nurse to come to my house to deliver my meds for my IV. I been taking gas x strips, which really helps me with the gas pain. I’m trying to stay positive. Also, I have little to no support.

As has already been said, walk and sip, you will be ok, I was only in the hospital for 9 hours and then I was on my way home. And I understand the pain that you are in, it will get better! If it gets too out of hand call your Dr office and see what they say. It will be painful for a few days but you can do it! Sorry to hear about the lack of support but you have quite a bit of support here! You are now officially part of the "family" and we take care of our own!!!:)

Hi. I had surgery on Monday and can honestly say on my fifth day I feel so much better than on my second day. It gets better I promise. It's night and day better. Keep up the great work. We are both on our way to better things.

First couple days are the worst because of the gas. Where does it hurt?
I actually had horrible pain around my right rib and ended up going back to doctor. Turns out the rib was bruised when he took off the expander. So, don't hesitate to ask if it doesn't get better. Heat helps too. Heating pad or microwave pack. Hang in there!

Hang in there, it does get better quickly. Try and walk. Laying in bed all the time isn't good for you. Walk around your house, then rest, then walk again. And sip on Water or vit min water. Just little sips.

      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.
