How did it go? Hope you’re healing up nicely!
I'm actually doing quite good as far as pain goes. I feel like I'm at a level 4ish on the pain chart. It was only bad when I first got out of surgery but now the pain is simmering down.

I converted from sleeve to bypass yesterday (June 26) to help with reflux. The recovery this time is so much better, as I knew what to expect. I am bummed I’m off the good IV pain meds, as I do feel like I’ve been beat up in my mid-section. I just walk the halls and stick to drinking my 15cc of Water every 15 minutes. I hope to go home tomorrow, on my 40th birthday!! I hope everyone else is doing great.

Today is day four post op. I have had insane mood swings (also was having PMS the past few days) but this morning they took my drain out ( have someone's hand to squeeze for that awful part) and afterwards I feel like a new person. I'm finally going home today after such a long stay and I feel totally ready for that. For everyone in recovery now, know that I reached some extremely low points over the past few days but I got through it and you will too!

      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.
