Thanks all so far the pain is minimal and all they have me on is a Tylenol ES drip. One of the nurses did say the third day is when the pain gets tough, here’s hoping I get something a tad stronger sent home with me. I had my gall bladder taken out exactly one year ago at the same hospital and the experience was stellar- the nurses were amazing and everything just went right. This time? Not so much. A couple of the nurses are snobs. Thank Goddess for shift changes. And so happy I didn’t forget my headphones- I have a faulty drip machine whose alarm is going off constantly and a roommate that makes sex noises as she snores!!! lol seriously!!! I wanna go home...

I'm glad it's over for you. As for the snobby nurse, that's on her. Welcome to your new life!

Spent one night, pretty uneventful surgery and, so far, the recovery is pretty much textbook. Not much pain, lots of gas bloat still, upper part of my belly hurts- I’ll ask about that when I go to follow up today, probably the actual spot the cut/stapled my new stomach. I’m tolerating Propel, tea, homemade chicken broth, grape Protein 2o and 50:50 Premier Protein:Water. No BM yet. I’m taking a bunch of cat naps (20 minutes at a time) and I don’t like that, I’d rather sleep in good long healthy chunks of time and all night long. Supposed to go back to work on Wednesday and I may delay that until the following Monday, we’ll see.

Yea, let your body adjust to the new you. Your surgery was just a few days ago. Take it easy. How much liquid are you able to take in now?

      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.
