Recommended Posts


Congrats! I go home tomorrow. Had some small things that needed to happen before going home. Hope your first day at home is going well and you are feeling supported and getting rest.




Thank you. It wasn't so bad. I'm just gassy. It hurts a little swallowing Water. I am feeling a lot of support. How are you feeling?

It's easier now just take it slow it will get better. I tried warm Water with a bit of lemon that helped relax my stomach. Everyone keeps saying walk walk walk and they are right that really helped me.

Walking really helped me! Swallowing took a few days to feel kinda okay. I used throat lozenges .. that helped.. I am getting discharged later this morning. I feel so much better and trying to get hang out of this clear liquid timing. I ended up with also a hernia repair so have some discomfort in chest..

What worked for me was to walk pay attention to meds that helped and asked for those.. for example I hated the Percocet feeling so won’t be taking that again. I’m just trying to listen to my body and walk every hour for 15 min... even if is a shuffle... how you doing? Where’d you have surgery? I’m on west coast..

Thanks so much for this tip. It definitely did help tremendously. I've been doing a ton of walking.

I'm so happy that your doing much better. They gave me oxy to help with discomfort. I'm doing so much better than yesterday. I can't wait till I am 100%. I'm in NYC. I had it done at Northwell. I was so nervous about my shrinking liver diet. But my doctor said my liver was perfect. Did u have to go on pre op diet?

Thanks glad you’re doing better today!! Tordal is the pain med that helped me.. the inflammation in my throat went way down after getting that med.

I read instructions dietician gave me wrong and put myself on a 14 day pre op diet lol the doctor only wanted two days before surgery. So I ended up doing more but I am glad I did. He said my liver was best one he has seen all month and didn’t do a biopsy so that was good. I just got home and so trying to sip and rest and repeat...

      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.
