Even after you have your surgery, you'll still find it so hard to believe that you actually did it. I still can't believe I had the surgery.

Please share bc I'm 1 week in to my two week and I'm starving. I was good in the beginning but now I'm dying!!!



Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other Protein Shakes and unflavored Protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!

I am having trouble with realizing this is real life and it's really happening on Tuesday. Like, my life is changing- and I just feel like this is all temporary.

I haven’t told any of my family. Just my wife and a close friend knows. At work I told them I’m having abdominal surgery.

Same here. I told one friend I hadn’t planned to because she was in the company of other friends who knew and she was horrible. Not in a rush to deal with the judgement again.

Well 3:30 in the morning. Officially started stage 1 now. Able to start little itty bitty sips of Water now every hour. Pain is not to bad. Had pain meds at midnight and don’t feel I need them right now. Walked a total of 5 laps last night. Very happy about that. Staff here is just amazing!!!
Today is going to be great!!! I can tell.

How are you doing ?

How are you doing ?




Not to bad. Bit of a rough night. Pain got pretty bad last night. Made me nauseated again. The hit me with double dose of pain meds and anti nausea med. then nurse made me up two ice packs. Those helped a lot. Got up a bit ago and got couple laps down the hall done. Waiting till 8am for Protein Shake. Then doc should be in to let me know if I’m getting out today. Had to have more blood work to see if my count is still off. So all is going as expected. One step at a time in this new journey .

Hey so

I posted before just after my op on 28 February. I’m 4 days post op and 4kg lighter (8.8 lbs) already. It’s so tough guys. Really. I’m happy I’m doing it and no regrets but psych yourself up for a difficult first few days. And don’t worry because I’m a wuss so if I can get through this recovery you damn well can too!! Plus in the USA you have heaps of interesting Protein options and bariatric food options for recovery that we don’t have here in Australia.

I have another suggestion, once you’re able to start tracking your Fluid intake so you know what you’re getting. I’ve got my favourite plastic Disney cups that have seen better days and marked ml on them with a sharpie, just 50ml and 100ml. Then I can note down in my (Disney) notebook for each date:

time / fluid type/ fluid volume

and also medications. It’s important to have a sense of how much fluid you’re managing to get overall. I’m borderline getting 1l a day so I can’t afford to go below that. Tracking helps.

      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.
