Hi all! I'm 10 days post op and yesterday I sneezed 3 times in a row and wow did it hurt so I took some pain meds and when I woke up this morning I was on my side kinda stomach! I got up and all day have had pain on my upper left side by my insicion area and noticed my port incision has a sunk in side on inscison and seen a stitch poking thru? Anyone else had part of their insison do this and should I still be having pain 10 days out?

They make a tasteless protein powder that you can add to anything! Just a thought! And remember broccoli will give you gas and bloat you! I have issues with broc soup because it makes me very gassy!drink more water and walk if it happens again that's what helped me with gas!

I'm glad I just read this cuz I've been wondering the same stuff! I'm 10 days post op and woke up on my side kinda stomach this morning and have had mild pain all day!

@shallene hi there I too have the same thing! I called my dr today and asked and he said its the inflammation and selling and the band that's pushing things back up and ties in with the gas as well! Sometimes I feel like if I could burp it would feel better and can't so I swollow and it goes away for awhile! I have the chewable gas x now the strips weren't heloing and chewables seem to be better! Dr also said if I still feel that way tom to crush a pepcid or prilosec and take it so I might try it as well! While talking to the dr and dietician today they said I could eat cambells cream on the go drinkable soups just add some skim milk to them since the jello and yougart are bothering me! So I'm happy about that!

@duster I also was banded on june 24th and still having a lot of pain as well as gas pains! Until today I barley wanted to drink I was in so much pain! Today I'm feeling more hungary! I hate sweet stuff so jello is getting annoying! I have to be on liquids for 2 weeks post op and don't know how I'm going to do it! I drink my shakes and water and had some broth today! And yet I'm still hungary today! My shakes are starting to taste to sweet to me! My next stage is pureed after 2wks of liquid and it says I can have mashed potatoes! And cream of wheat so well see! I go to the dr this thurs so well see what he says! A lot of people like the sweet taste I do not having hard time eating jello to sweet and its sugar free??? Weird I know! I'm going to try strained soups instead of just broth!

Hi everyone! I'm on my 4th day post op and am in tons of pain today! I'm still on fluids! Called the dr office and they say its gas pain! I'm chewing gas x around the clock! And walking around the house! Any other suggestions? Please!

Really I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

Really hmmm! I will try anything! I bought some spearmint tea because my gma use to give it to me when I was lil for tummy aches! Thanks for the info!

Thanks! I have liquid vicodin and I'm taking it! It doesn't seem to be working though I might not be taking enough! I just hate sleeping all the time! So gas x is my pal right now hoping it kicks in! I hurt so bad I don't wanna drink or eat my yougart or shakes! And I know I have to! Thanks again!

Oh I'm sorry! Thanks for the info!

I just had surgery on june 24th 2011! Besides walking is there anything else I can do safe for my band now just 4 days out from surgery!

Thanks for the info "wheelchair"! I'm in a lot of pain for some reason today dr said maybe gas! I'm hoping to get started tom excersing!
