I'm too excited the new me begins on May 6th!!!!!! I can't believe this is actually going to happen. Yay!

I'm home from the hospital and doing okay. don't like the pain at all. I'm hoping that gets better each day. eating feels really weird. I'm trying to sip all day' date=' but I'm really feeling hungry, not sure if it's real hunger or just my strange stomach.[/quote']

The pain subsides a bit each day.

You'll feel much better around day 7. You'll be hungry but you'll find that you can only eat a few bites and will feel full. At night I would have watered down mashed potatoes. It always took the edge off the hunger. Other than that I had the usual shakes, soups, etc.

Good luck...

You'll see...you'll feel better soon...

Eating feels odd to me too. I felt really hungry the day of surgery (afterward) but now I have to be reminded to eat! I'm only 4 days post op (including day of surgery). Taste buds are different, good thing I guess. I've tried some sugar free Popsicles to help with fluid intake. Make sure to drink enough water!

For the heck of it I decided to use a ketostick, it's so dark purple that its nearly black! Explains rapid weight loss even more. Keep ice on the manipulation site and don't let the pain meds ware off.

Im scheduled for May 28. Getting nervous

Ok so today is 18 days post op and I notice I was able to eat a whole can of tuna. About 6 onz. Did not hurt at all. And I have not being hungry I did something I not sure if I could do but I went to starbucks and bough a decaf coffee with skim milk and not sugar. It was pretty good. I just can say I really enjoy my coffee.

I did too. There's protein In it as well! Starbucks gave me a nutrition chart of all their drinks.

2 days post op and not hungry at all...did drink 2 oz of ensure and feel so full now(it took an hour and 1/2 to drink) I now have to wait a half an hour before I start drinking my clear fluids again.

I'm not hungry either. I have to be reminded to eat. Not even food smells good at all. My daughters made a turkey an Swiss on rye last night and I thought the smell would make me feel bad but I didn't smell it. They made some rice pilaf this afternoon too and I didn't miss that either. I do hope to enjoy some foods again and eat normally (just less) some day. I'm down from 230.4 surgery day to 216 today. I'm in a very deep ketosis.

Wasnt your surgery like a week ago? You already lost 14lbs?! Wow! Keep it up

So I'm on Day 4 (including surgery day) and pain is slightly better. Still can't get all my water/protein in. Every time I take a sip (even small ones) I have a tightness/pain in my chest which goes away once I burp. It's weird. So I'm sipping very slowly. I hope I don't get dehydrated. I go for my one week appointment on Wed. and that is when I should be switched to full liquids. I really need some variety. The clear liquids are getting so old. I also feel hungry which I didn't expect. Kids and hubby had pizza last night and I almost cried I wanted it so bad. Even a PB&J sounds heavenly right now! I'm not cooking right now (too much temptation) so my hubby has to feed the kids and he doesn't cook much. Therefore the pizza. They are really trying not to eat in front of me.

I'm on your level entirely! But I must admit I'm not anywhere as sore as I was yesterday. Also, I got 1 1/2 shakes down....and the scale says I'm down 17lbs since pre-op with 5lbs from date of surgery. Missing the food is getting easier with those lbs dropping!! Hang in there!

I would like to hear from some of you about your experiences after you woke up from surgery.What happens during your stay in the hospitial...thx in advance..

I had a hard time coming out if the anesthesia. I was totally out of it the entire time in the hospital. I felt so uncomfortable and being a control freak didn't go well. I expected to get right up and walk. I took 2 super short walks and could barely get out of bed. I was allowed nothing until the next morning after making sure I didn't have a leak. Then I had to drink about 4ozs of water so I could be discharged.

I wish I would have laid off the morphine button a little.

Hi... I'm may 29... just few days away..
