SUPER late on this. I think I was one of the few that had a miserable post op. Surgery was Wednesday 4/25 and was discharged 4/27. STILL in some kind of pain to this day but it’s nothing like it was the first 5 days post op. Everything hurt going down... no matter how small the sip or the temperature.

Today is the first day I can “eat” without feeling a ton of pain. Following up with my surgeon on Monday so hopefully I’m feeling better by then! Every day is a little bit better. It’s really a day by day process.

Im so sorry to hear this. Was it your actual pouch that hurt or was it pain from a breathing tube or what? Im glad things are improving and good luck at your dr appt!

Mostly my new pouch and incision pain. For some reason my dr made the incision where he removed my stomach really big 🤦🏾‍♀️ that’s causing me the most trouble now. Hopefully at 2 weeks out I’ll be feeling better. Thanks!!

I'll watch and wait with you. I keep thinking of the old song
ME* MP *HIS and that's Memphis, Tennessee. Someday I'll visit there, not necessarily for a trip to Graceland, I've just always heard it is a very pretty city😝

Yes, it really is. It’s Memphis in May now. City is full of tourist.

Still here, still hanging out with you all. Have next important appointment May 24th. meeting with
Case Mgr- Nurse Practioner- Dietician
Thought first a "Hi Glad to Meet and Greet You" appointment but another,poster is meeting with same,group at HER hospital, this gives me renewed hope that,like her, this could be an immediate pre* surgical!
You see, I have completed another C.O.E. bariatric program twice, and now having to switch,to new C.O.E. hospital, if they have no other requirements, I could be an early-mid June Bug RnY. Hope-Hope-Hope!😛

      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.
