I had my surgery on 4/18. I was driving by 4/23 and have driven every day since. I feel tired but mostly normal. I still have pain, sitting on the couch is really hard. I started to feel hungry a few days ago but I'm still on full liquids. From reading the other posts i feel very blessed.

Did anyone else have it kind of easy?

Had my surgery 4/24 & Yea I’m feeling pretty good. No trouble getting in my liquids, going to bathroom regularly. Was getting a lil suspicious actually, bc I thought it was going to be worse. Still sore and tender but I haven’t needed pain meds since they stopped giving them to me in the hospital. I feel blessed.

I just joined today and feel very lucky! I had VSG 4/24 and came home 4/25.

I have zero pain, nausea, discomfort, etc. I'm able to drink plenty of fluids and today started Full Liquids! I feel full and have lost 18lbs since the surgery! I hope I don't have a set back! Seems too good to be true right now!

      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.
