Had my surgery on the 7th. Got out of the hospital yesterday morning. So far, pretty good. A few minor gas pains and sore shoulder, but nothing unbearable so far.

Wishing you all luck if your surgery is today or upcoming!

Good for the most part. Transitions are painful (rolling from back to side, sit to/from stand, sit to/from laying down. Shoulder pain gets less the more I pass gas (I have never been so excited to fart in my life [emoji1787])

I was released from the hospital the next day, which I was determined to do, however, it was nice that the nurses were there regulating when I needed to take my meds.

I recommend getting a belly band! I'm so glad I have mine I think it just keeps everything together nice and snug while you are recovering :).

My parents are staying with me, which is awesome. Definitely have a good support system to come home to [emoji3]

      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.
