I have been.miserable the last few days. Horrible indigestion at first, and then the next day my stomach hurts like it did post surgery. I feel a hiccup and dread it because i know how bad its going to hurt. My stomach felt great and now all this pain & gas (i think). I just dont know what is going on. Does anyone have suggestions? I take protonix and started gasx today. Has anyone had this?

Could not agree more!!

I am almost 3 weeks out & still have a significant amout of pain but only in one spot which feels like where my belly is. Any suggestions?

I do have an infection in one of my incisions. This pain i'm feeling is within 4 inches of that but also where my stomach is located which is why i was wondering about the leak. It does hurt to walk, laugh, talk etc but i've noticed after i eat/drink its worse.

I am always cold now! I wear a jacket constantly - this is awesome for me as always being hot before! Best of luck to your body temperature!

I have been honest since day 1 with my entire family(mom, brothers & sisters,aunts and uncles). I wanted their input & to ensure i had their support. Once i knew this is what i was doing for sure i shared with friends and co-workers. Everyone has been supportive and i found out more ppl who have had it. My husband is very insecure and tells me daily that he gives us a year until we are divorced. We have major issues that were here well before surgery. That is my only concern is losing him & my family falling apart! Has anyone had a marriage fail post op?

Does the unflavored protein really change the consistancy?

Wow!!!! There is no way after 3 dats for me lol

I actually cried today over the whole protein.intake issue i am having. I am.literally full all day long! I am between 30-45 grams of protein per day and all i do is drink it all day long. I cant drink regular fluids because im stuffed from the protein. My hands are dried out and my.mouth is dry so i feel like im getting dehydrated. I am 2 weeks out and am holding steady at 20 pounds lost and to add i have an infection at one of my incision. My doctor told me protein protein.protein and said i will not heal or lose if i can't increase my intake. I have done carnation, isopure & nectar and am easily burnt out on my flavors. Ughhh feel like i am failing quickly

I do have an infection on my one of my incisions - is that the same as a hematoma? I am def ready - he agreed and it was sealed hehehe.... i can say it was uncomfortable at times.. cant wait til im 100% feeling better

Im in this boat now 12 days post op and struggling to return back to work. I really feel well some days & other days i wake really sore. Today i woke up great but by the time evening came i needed a pain pill. I too get very tired, but im not getting a the protein in. Im really working on that & vitamins to get my energy back. Im planning on going in thursday whether im 100% or not. My surgeon said that most people are @ 2 weeks some at 3 and others at 4.

I see you!!

I am on instagram but have not fully been using it. I am linds1221. Hopefully we can find otgees and start sharing our progress photis!

I'm in the STL area and looking for the same! I cant figure out how to load pics and stuff on this site via mobile - Does anyone have facebook that would be willing to be friends there?

I am 5 days post op and cannot seem to figure out how to eat/drink what i am supposed too! Meaning quanity. I think i am not eating enough nor drinking enough - 5 days post op and have lost 10 pounds! Also when should i start protein? I tried the other day but all the rumblings hurt my tummy. Any one gave suggestions? Also what else can i eat at this stage besides yogart, jello, pudding or broth? Can i have mashed potatos? I have been putting anything i eat in a 2oz cup

I am looking for more variety for clear full liquids - 2 weeks will be next friday!!

Mine is clear full liquids until i get another barium swallow done (2 weeks) and then i move to pureed (applesauce, green beans etc) ...come on 2 WEEKS!!!!! I am having a hard time remembering their instructions!!

I was the same regretted it in the recovery room and i too asked them to stop all meds with hesitation they did- within 12 hours i was feeling better. I am home now and don't regret it at all. I am having minor complications that in a few weeks should be resolved in their own.
