Surgery was Monday. No nausea, thank goodness but the incision pain has been horrible. I walked all the gas out before I left the hospital. All people talked about was the gas pain...I guess I missed the part about in incision pain. Had some chicken broth today that was fabulous. Please remind me the first couple weeks are the hardest!

I'm doing well thanks for asking... I was released from the hospital yesterday my surgery was on Monday they didnt want to release me because I wasn't drinking g enough fluids. It was so hard to get anything down. But I fell much better now. I didnt really have any gas pain, it was more nausea for me I threw up twice after surgery. But I'm home now resting and keeping hydrated. How was your surgery?

Yea drinking was a big issue for me, but this morning I started off drinking some of my Protein Drink. Then an hour later I had a small amount of yogurt and took my pain meds and went to sleep. I woke up and had some more of the Protein Shake and I will be sipping on Water and later I will have some broth.. hopefully I get enough fluids in today. Only thing is I'm not sure if I'm going over the amount or if I'm under.. I was able to pass gas last night (sorry TMI ) but they kept asking me if I did or not. Lol

Yea I dont like the clear Protein drink it's too sweet for my liking. I think the protein drink really helps alot. But so far I have lost 12 pounds since starting this journey in January I'm really interested on how much I will lose over the next few months. I started at 252lbs

I'm really curious to see how much weight I lost since surgery but I still feel so bloated so I don't want to get discouraged if I still have Water weight from surgery. I started 264 in jan and my surgery weight was 235. I'm excited to see how the weight comes off us too [emoji4]

I hope everyone is doing great post op. Mine was April 23, 2019. Today is April 27 and I am 16 pounds down. Pain is gone, no nausea. Sometimes a little discomfort when drinking broth. I am not feeling any hunger. However, I am very tired and sleepy alot. Maybe it due to the low calories. Tomorrow I start the Protein Shakes.

When is everyone returning to work? I was told I can return Tuesday the 30th.

Good luck to all of you and enjoy your start to a new and better life!

I had surgery on Thursday, went home on Friday. Getting enough liquids was a struggle. I’ve always been a Water drinker, but since surgery it tastes like metal. Now I’m drinking 4oz of broth an hour. I’m going to try to drink some shake again tonight. Overall I feel good. The nausea is almost gone, as is the gas. Like you guys, I’m really interested to see what my weight loss will look like.

AngieBear I had my surgery on the 25th. I did not have a problem getting Water in before surgery but now it needs some added flavor to go down. Popsicles are the easiest way for me to hydrate. Also I like herbal or fruit tea. I’m still nauseous when I’m drinking the Protein Shake. I have tried different kinds and they all seem very heavy. I’m going to try watering them down half with water. Good luck staying hydrated and let us know how is going.

      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.
