36 hours post op and I feel better than I expected. Shower and brushing teeth were strangely the most wonderful things ever!

Only Water yesterday but today is 3oz per hour of some variety of fluids. broth for lunch (what seemed like a huge portion) with apple juice with Protein, and 2 other juices.

Hope my bypass twins are feeling great too. It's a big decision but I cannot wait to get my health and my life back. I've hidden behind drab ugly clothes for too long. It's time to feel better.

Good morning! I am about 14 hours post op and don’t feel too bad. Just very sore on my right side and when I try to move it burns and stings. I have been sipping Water and eating small ice chips. I ate couple bites of a popsicle and drank about ounce or two of water and I was full. I have 5 incisions. That are all glued. And I slept in the chair instead of the bed. Hope everyone is doing well this morning.

I'm now 8 days post op. Was able to finally sleep on my side last night (hugging a pillow). Feel like I've turned a corner today...hardly any pain relief. Now just need the bowels to start working!!! My doctor added a second laxative today so hopefully some results in the next few days. pureed food boring but not for much longer!!! Also had heartburn last 2 nights....weird....might have been what I ate. No more today so far. Just a new tummy getting used to working again maybe. Glad to hear the 26th girls went well!!!

I’m coming up on 24 hours post op. Pain has been noticeable but I’ve had no problems with Clear Liquids. Walking like a champ - they told me to slow down and stop taking the long way.

Way to go. I walked the Long way too. I walked in the middle of the night as well. Sounds like you are doing pretty well. That’s awesome. I am doing pretty good too I think lol. We are on the losers bench now.

Isn't it odd? I got no,meals at all in my hospital. Started with Water sips, moved to clear fruity liquids, to flavored milky shakes, once,i got good enough for those, it was let us mix you up a goodbye milky shake, and Goodbye Charley. No broth, Jello, Popsicles, puddings, for Frustr8. Also I never got any hal waljs, basically room- bound, on bedside commode, so no BR or showers. Come to think of it, not even a bed bath. Did I get the Royal Treatment or Did I get cheated? Oh well, life is as it is! I'm still living, living adequately well, and I guess if I were sitting on a saw blade I would be complaining about the sharpness and angle. So leave everything as it is?

      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.
