Surgery Day was Wednesday and nothing take good. I came home today and got in the bed, one of the incision is giving me the blues. Plus I'm still high from the pain medication, no more.

That stinks! I have had a very smooth recovery. I didn’t need any pain medication at all. I have no nausea. Only issue I have is I am going on my 8th day with no #2. Started Miralax today. Hope it gets better for you

Is anyone having back pain post op? I’m not sure if it’s because of the bed or gas ? But it’s hard to get rid off

4 Days post op. Managing the pain the gas even stomach cramps. What am having a problem with is all the food commercials. Of course can’t do a lot so watching tv. I have never paid attention to the commercials but now it’s like every other one is food. It’s making me so hungry.

I’m 4 days post op. I have chest pain and can’t breathe deep due to a collapsed lung that happened during surgery. Had this happened to anyone else? Also, when they pulled the drainage tube, it was the worst pain of my life. I know eventually it will be worth it, but I’m hurting right now.

My MD recomeneded 64 oz. Water daily. However that is to include the coffee/tea etc. that you drink that day. I have had no trouble consuming that much since my surgery on 7/18/18, but I drank A LOT of water/fluids daily prior to surgery

I could easily drink 100 oz prior to surgery..with the sleeve, I'm lucky to get in 20 oz...

My surgery was the 24th. I had no nausea, but the gas pains were terrible. I also ended up with a partially collapsed lung from misplacement of the breathing tube, but the worst pain for me is the left shoulder. Does anyone else have this issue?

      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.
