None yet. I am still in full liquids though. I still tolerate Premier Protein drinks which I know a lot of people report after surgery they can't do anymore. I am heading back to work tomorrow. I am going to do some part time days and then go back full force on Monday.

Yes I did, and do. I bet this happens to you, but I hope not.

I discovered I dislike some things I used to love. But the dislike has culminated over a period of time. So I would try to eat something like a green olive, which I love, and found it made me feel like crud. Over time I started to dislike green olives. There is a myriad of food like that, that overtime I grew to not like so much.

I also have a stricture that is going away. So if I eat or don’t chew well enough, it will try and come back up, it’s effortless for me to get sick.

So as long as you eat slow and chew chew chew, you should be A-OK.

I’m wishing you more smooth sailing!!!

Just had mine done on Monday and was up and walking about 2 hours after surgery. Basically no pain and was able to walk laps around the nurses' station. They said no one does multiple laps their first trip out but I did 3. A lot is in the prep. Meaning; get yourself to a gym and walk on a treadmill or ride a bike. Get a good strong core/legs and follow pre-op diet to the letter.

Great read -- I think the post above about prep may be a factor for y'all. Or just damn good luck :-)

      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.
