On my second day all I wanted was sleep and for the gas pain to go away 😭

I’m 4 days post op and still pretty tired and my body temp is raised about one degree. I hear it gets better everyday. I was hoping to go to work Monday but I may wait longer.

Having real trouble getting enough Water in. All my info says to continue drinking in small amounts (I think it says max 1oz at a time), how am I supposed to fit in 2 litres at that pace?!


My surgeon has us drinking one ounce of Water (using the little medicine cups helps!) ever 15 minutes. I just set a timer on my watch to remind me. It has helped a lot!

I finally got home yesterday. I feel very sore like a did an external work out. My ribs are killing me. I am able to keep pretty much everything down, but I don’t have a sense of fullness so I’m scared that I will eat or drink too much. Other then that I am doing great

Good luck. Probably another day or two the fullness will kick in.

14hrs left to check-in for my surgery. I am nervous now but wasn't before. I am hoping things go out well and I don't feel any extreme pain postoperative. Good luck to those this week.. this Mobday will be one to always remember. [emoji120][emoji856]

If you trust your surgeon, and follow all the guides on what to do and not to do, you should be fine. Make sure you have numbers for emergency. Your surgeon's office may have a FB page for patients.

Even the best surgeon and best behaved patient can have a complication. Hang in there your feelings are valid dont forget why you started

Hey Everyone. My surgery is on the 19th. The nerves are setting in but I’m doing my best to remind myself why I’m having this surgery. Even though it’s risky all my other health issues are putting me at risk and that’s been helping me somewhat. Also I can’t wait until I’m done with these Protein Shakes. 😂😂

Right? Ha. I’m day 4 on the shakes (10 days left) and I’m already over them. The good news is I’m down almost 8lbs - so I’m hoping I can lose 15 before surgery with them. Hopefully that will be enough so I can get my wedding ring off before surgery (otherwise I’ll have to cut it😢)

      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.
