Frankly' date=' that sounds delicious!! I'm still stuck on this disgustingly unfulfilling liquid diet!!! I'm open week post op on Friday.[/quote']

There must be something wrong with my doctor. I only get 2 days of liquid. Then its pureed for for 2 weeks then 6 weeks of soft foods. I don't even see him until a month after surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday and doing well so far. I do not have much pain until I get out of bed and today I was able to go full liquids today. No nausea. Did get dizzy a bit today but I think it was because I over did it showering so they had to wheel me back to my room. Doing fine now.

I'm on day 1 of liquids -- what a rough day-- thank goodness for popsicles and Jello and green tea- Decaf I'm slowly working on just getting past this OMG I'm so hungry filling -- nothing's filling me up

Day 3 post RNY. I've managed to get down 360 mls Clear Liquids more during the night. Still have some nausea, haven't passed gas but I can feel it rumbling in there! The abdominal pain is brutal, though. ESP the left side. My surgeon said they had to clean up a lot of adhesions while they were i there so maybe that's why I still have such pain. I'm afraid to advance the diet for fear I'll vomit, which would be excruciating. I keep thinking just get through this week & things will get better.

I'm on day one of clear liquids also. I loved jello before, now the jello and broth just taste icky and I can't handle it. I can drink the heck out of some decaf tea and Water though. Hang in there. I think that being hungry thing will improve. I'm glad I haven't had that so far. I'm thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much -- I think some of this is me living with family n smelling everything driving me wild knowing I simply can not have it :x --

Did my measurements today: so far 27 days ago I'm down only 5 pounds but I've lost 22 1/2" all across my body- I can feel a little bit of the difference, but the biggest part is seeing it on paper - I'm going to do it again the DOS and then with each doc visit

That left side hurts for a while....mine still bothers me over a week later...BUT it's very manageable and you just have to be careful. Icing it really helps...I used that in the hospital and it made a significant difference...

It finally happened. I cried. I keep telling myself no regrets...no regrets....but dang it sometimes a girl just wants to be able to eat fried chicken and fart. Ughh...sorry about that visual. I suppose this horrendous left sided belly pain will be around a few more days. Any advice getting through "hell week"?

I'm not sure i have any exact advice for hell week, but on day 4 I had almost a night and day change for the better. I'm day 6 right now, and feel great- a little weak and shaky maybe from lack of food, but otherwise good!!

The pain meds I was given didn't really help, but the anti-inflammatories did a smidgen of help. For the gas and bloating, I'm downing gas x and papaya enzymes. Seems to be helping a lil with that. Good luck!!!

For my friends farther out: how long does the back and shoulder pain last? My abdomen is not sore, I am not really nauseous, but my back is killing me. Any tips or tricks?
