Did you try walking around a lot first



I feel like I have walked a marathon lol I took some gas x and it seems to have helped having a lot of pain in my lower right quadrant that shouldn’t be from the surgery so will probably call the dr on Monday otherwise I’m doing great plenty of liquids and Protein is almost where it should be.

Have you tried placing a pillow under your stomach when you sleep on your side? I found that help some if you sleep on your back try elevating your legs to keep the pressure off your abdomen. I hope you get some rest soon.

It’s weird the different dr. Aftercare plans. I was told no protein for the first week. Just keep liquids going.

I am on pure liquids the 1st week, too. Water, broth, SF Jello, SF Popsicles only. No protein yet. :)

      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.
