Hey all, I am 5 days post OP. Overall the procedure was really smooth. I didn't take any narcotics after the first day, and no pain meds at all since leaving the hospital. Gas pain was at a minimum, and I was up and walking around the same night. I was concerned by some of the stories I had read on here, but it seems like I received great care. I feel like I'm starting to get my appetite back but wont be able to progress to mushy food for another nine days. Just a bump in the road I guess. I started my pre OP diet on 11/5 @ 328 lbs, as of this morning I'm at 299, (309 on surgery day), so it's the first time being sub 300 in over a decade. I know this is just the beginning and I'm sure there will be more challenges ahead, but I wanted to put this out there for someone like myself that was just lurking and being intimidated by some of the bad experiences that some have posted.

Great job!!! Sounds like you are on your way!!! Looking like my surgery weight will be 238lbs. I have only lost 9 lbs on this two week preop diet 🥴

Looks like many people lose 15-20 lbs before surgery.... Not me, hopefully I will be 237 tomorrow for a grand total of 10 lbs preop.

@Heather246 good luck and God's speed on your recovery. Just follow to the T everything you were taught and you will be just fine .The most important thing I as soo glad I did was bring that little pillow. I put it under that biggest most painful incision and layed right on it on my side and slept very comfortable concidering.. if you are a side sleeper try it you will be surprised how it will feel better if you lay on it with a pillow..... keep in touch the next few days if you can....let me know how you made out.... Peace>>>>.

stop counting pounds and concentrate on following the instructions, drinking your Water, drinking your Protein ,walking ,and eating and chewing like a snail....and the pounds WILL come off in their own style ….

Thank you. Those are all things I need to hear, today and probably in 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks and more. I have spent my whole life focusing on the pounds and should have been doing all those things you just said. Great support system, thank you again, and of course I'll keep you updated.

      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.
