August 2nd here! All in all itโ€™s been good! Very little pain except for gas but thatโ€™s tolerable. For some reason itโ€™s the mornings that tend to be the roughest on my tummy! Iโ€™m not sure if itโ€™s cause Iโ€™m not drinking all night cause Iโ€™m sleeping or what! I wanna say itโ€™s almost in between gas and hunger pain but who knows.

So Iโ€™ve been 5 days post op now, I generally feel ok now, much different from when I was in hospital and 1st day of coming home. (Horrible) no nausea and Pain is minimal also. Today I walked outside for almost a mile and went back. I feel ok, sort of winded but ok. Iโ€™m still doing pretty much the liquid only diet. I was able to eat a whole sugar free pudding cup today. If you count the pre liquid diet weight loss I think Iโ€™m at 23 lbs lost and hoping to lose many more!

My surgery date is August 16th. Iโ€™m on my pre-surgery diet on day 6. Iโ€™m have extreme insomnia and feel very weak like I might pass out. Is this normal?

I just got home from the hospital. Iโ€™m doing ok, no more and no less pain than I imagined. Finding it a bit hard to drink enough but persisting with it. Iโ€™m glad itโ€™s done and I can keep going. For those with surgery in the coming days and weeks, listen to your team, you will be great! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

      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.
