That is horrible to hear. I wish you had an easier time up until now. You'll get past this and it will a distant memory. A war story you can tell in the future. And they say this is the easy way out, huh.

All your going through is normal. Each day you will feel a little better. What worries me is the people that post they went to Disneyland the next day or a week later are running. Your body has been through alot and its going to take time to heal. It took me till about two months till I felt normal again. No surgeon or therapist can prepare you for what you really go thru physically and emotionally. And of course everyone is different but you will be just fine and in a short time you will have no regrets!
Take care and hope your feeling better!

Well for me things got so much better in weeks 7 and 8 once I started back on real nonmushy food. I had more energy and the bathroom got back to my normal routine. I had very little nausea post op, and as I tried new foods that did happen a few times when I tried something I wasn't ready for. Now, over 15 months out I don't have any food restrictions really.
The pills...well, I still do watch how big my pills are. I cut them in half if I can. I take krill oil since the fish oil pills are so large.
It will get better.

      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.
