@@QueenBx, I'm hanging in there. I've been off course for about two weeks. I need to get back on track starting tomorrow. My last nut appointment is on Jan 5th. I have decided to change surgeons and surgerys. I'm going to Emory @ John's Creek with doctor Hart and getting gastric bypass.

My surgery date is January 19, 2017

Hoping I won't have a lot of pain, can anyone tell me what I will feel like right after surgery?

The pain for me is more like general discomfort all over abdomen and very tight with lots of noises. I am still taking pain pills for about 1-2 more days only (I had surgery on Monday 12/19 so only day 5 for me. It is a daily chore to get all the liquids and Protein down as you can only take 1-2 ounces at a time so I wake at 7:30am and work all day to get in everything every 15 mins using an alarm clock with reminders for when is Protein shake, Water, broth, Vitamins, etc as everything has to be paced out. Getting better day by day but good thing I will have 4 weeks off as this is like a job every day to follow the schedule and also to get two long walks in. I know it will get better each week as things normalize.

How long where you in the hospital?

I like your alarm clock idea, I will try it. Are you hungry, do you force yourself to eat?

I got my Vitamins from my doctor as they made me buy the Optifast shakes and the Celebrate vitamins. Here is a photo I found on this site that is helping me stay on track

I had my surgery at 4pm on 12/19 and as soon as woke up tried to walk the floor every 3 hours and I was released on 12/20 at 2pm so not even 24 hours. I have no hunger so force myself to follow that schedule with the 4 ounces every 30 minutes.

Hello again I just wanted to follow up to how you been. Are feeling any better now. Me, I'm feeling okay and I am amazed at how I have no urge to eat inbetween meals.

Hello, I'm a little better. Only still having issues getting in all the Protein. I can't take more Protein shakes.

Well I'm happy to hear you're doing better. I had to drink protein shakes and clear liquids for 21 days and I wanted to eat something so bad that I thought I was going to loose my mind. But even on the soft and mushy diet I am still having trouble getting in all my protein so I still have protein drinks as well.

@@sleeveisa glad you are doing a little better. I am having issues getting all my Protein as well but giving up isn't an option just one day at a time and focus on your healing.

@@dmw0621 I hate the soft mushy diet My mama says I hate everything that is good for me I just want a salad.
