I had my surgery on Monday, January 21st... it seems like today I'm not feeling well.. and I'm just trying to remind myself that it's probably all normal feeling.. but at the same time, I'm worried that maybe I'm not eating the right foods.. or I'm doing something wrong... and I didn't go through all of this for it not to work... so today I am a little down.

Today’s a little better but I’m still incredibly sore. I don’t want to take my Norco or liquid Tylenol because it’s a gross tasting gel so I’m just off pain meds

I had my surgery on the 23rd. The pain is severe, especially when I get up to walk. Tolerating fluids very well. Is anyone else having to wear a stomach compression belt?

Had my 2 week follow up and I got the clear to do any activities I want and got to move to purées. I’m feeling pretty good...so those only a few days out, hang in there. It gets better fairly quickly.

@Mjrteach: I got sleeved on 1/18 and am still wearing the abdominal compression thing they gave me. Not as much but I do feel that it helps me with support.

I had my surgery on 1/22 and just today they let me go home. The surgery went well, the problem was that my heart rate was very high, my red blood cell count was really low, and my sugars also crashed. I also had a very large bruise at one of my incision sites that kept growing and growing.

The main concern was that I might have an internal bleed. So they ran a cat scan and found no leaks inside of me. Eventually I tracked down the source of the bruise. One of the cna's gave me a heparin shot on the belly close to that incision right after surgery.

Now I'm home having to test my blood pressure and sugars twice a day.

In general, I feel pretty good considering I just has a RNY. I have gas pains but nothing that would make me scream. Walking helps a lot even though it is the last thing you want to do when you are in pain. I can swallow liquids fine. When I get up, it feels like my internal organs just drop to the bottom of my torso. It is a very weird sensation and it hurts too. I can't believe how happy I feel when I burp or fart! Never thought that farting would be anything to be proud of. At this point, I don't even care who is there😂

I'm better. I have some soreness but I know that's to be expected. I definitely don't feel like I was going to die like yesterday

      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.
