Yea not sure if it's gas pains I hope so. It's all my upper back area really. Tomorrow I will attempt a shower and try to do more walking. Of course in my sub conscience I think I am having heart pains. But know I am not. Lisa hope you get to feeling better

The gas pains you all talk about where are they located. I belch more then the other way. But have weird pains in my back right in the center between shoulder blades. Sometimes under the blades. Could they be gas pains or something else?

I feel good, I am doing what they told me to do. using those medicine cups to drink my protein drinks and my water. sip sip till all 5 are gone and fill back up and repeat. thought I would be able to have my SF Popsicles and SF jello, but not yet. able to start taking my vitamins, and my normal prescription meds I took before the surgery, everything seems to be ok. haven't taking anymore pain meds. I had to get that anesthesia out of my system. so 2 days post op I am fine

So sorry Lisa. Hope they find out whats going on. This is what scares me the most so many having problems afterwards. Hope everyone gets to feeling better. Prayers all around to you. Jesus take our hands and heal us. Make us strong

Oh i do walking. Its really cold and some ice on the driveway. But i do walk around the area in my house. Have a circle like living room kitchen dining room hallway. I just do it about 6 times. I move my legs and feet constantly when sitting or laying around.

This is what the nurses gave me when i was discharged. You know those medicine cups you get with the over the counter liquid medicines. They gave me 5 of them. They filled 2 of them with protein drink and 3 with water. They said sip all of it in 1 hour. And repeat till i get my 60 oz of protein in. I have had no discomfort so far. Thank you Jesus . Just a little sore where the incisions are at. And i have to drink like this for 2 weeks. Kinda weird cuz i feel i can drink more then they suggested. I am allowed to take my vitamin and my regular prescription pills that i was on before surgery. So far no problems. At this tome i feel very fortunate. But yet wonder why i cant have my SF popsicles or SF jello. And crystal light drinks. But time is moving fast for me all is ok for now

Pic wont come up. They told me not to at all eat anything. All i can have is protein drink and water. They did say to cut it all in 1/2 if need to. But swallowing pills shouldn't be a problem i am not in pain just sore. I only use the pump 3 times. I just hated that groggy feeling a know

I am home, sore but that will past. Not sure how I am suppose to take the pain pills and my regular pills that I have. I just can't stay awake so sleepy. Got my bottle of protein drink and water to sip sip sip and walk. And go pee. Gosh do I pee

Yes i told doc when he was here they said they will look over my meds and see what to take. Everything is ok i guess

So far good. Very sleepy. Finally took cath out removed the feet thing. Oxygen off. They said vitals are good. On 2nd oz of water. At 12 they will give me 5 caps of protein. Suppose to check out at 3. But i am scared have anxiety nothing for it but doing ok. Keep praying for me

Had bypass done today. My back and stomach do have pain. On the drip so i am in between being groggy. Urine out pour is good. I have sat in a recliner for 3 hours did good. I have walked 4 laps around nurses stationed. They said doing good Thanks for prayers and comments

my pre op diet, had a protien shake at noon, since I didnt get up till 1130, for dinner I had a 2 oz steak broiled, with steamed broccolli and cawliflower, was good, about 10 i will have another protein shake. had 2 SF jello. but couldnt resist 4 pieces of minature york peppermints from hubs stocking, I am going to do this. come on 31st

Ok at the hospital. Just got my gown on. Now the waiting game. Thanks for the prayers. And praying for everyone else. Happy new year you

Ahhh ok. The store only had grape and lemon i got both cuz its says to drink 12 oz and these are 10. Thanks for the tip for sure i will take it around 5 i was worried and maybe we can leave early

so we live 52 miles from the hospital where I am having surgery, and guess what, 70 % chance its going to snow where I live and where the hospital is at, on Monday the 31st. Well sunday the 30th is my day before and have to drink that stuff magnesium citrate to get cleaned out. with only Water type liquids and SF popsicles, and Jello and broth. What time did you all drink that stuff? and how long do you think it took to clean you out? and the spasms stopped from needing to run to restroom? reason I ask is because hubs and I decided to leave around 8 pm to head to the town i have to go to and get a hotel room to spend the night due to the weather. just want to be sure I dont have to pull over 20 mins down the road, takes barely an hour to get there. what do you think?

So it really doesnt matter what time i drink the stuff? Like around 5 if i want? That would be awesome. I wasn't sure on the time of day, they didnt give me that info

Prayers for you all having the surgery and the ones who are having difficulty after surgery. I want to thank yall for the prayers and well wishes and thoughts. It is scary, have really slowed down my eating but do drink my protein shakes and lots of water. But i have a huge gnawing pain in my upper abdomen. Jello time

Have you ever seen the cat that someone is trying to put in a tub, but the cat doesnt want to get in so its clawing and has all four legs stretch out with its claws hanging on for dear life not to get in. Hmmm thinks that me. I maybe just a tad nervous

I have been drinking the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protien shakes, 2 to 3 times a day, some SF Jello, 2 chicken breast , 1 on different days. thin piece of steak, steam broccolli and cawliflower with the meals. had scrambled egg white egg beater with a piece of whole wheat toast, and once a piece of whole wheat toast with a slice of cheese on it. lots of Water, some with decaffenated tea, some with crystal light mixes. i feel a gnawing in my stomach and I am fatigued. using the bathroom all the time 1 and 2. is this normal? what do you think?

Good Luck!! many prayers

Bariactric advantage shake is so thick it sucks, that is all

heard only tylenol the liquid one, or the generic tylenol, unless you can tolerate the taste if you chew them, but advil and ibprofen and naproxin are no no

I guess doing good. Keep reading my manual the surgeon gave me. Today may have slipped had 2 protein shakes had 2 baked potatoes nothing on them but pepper. Never was one to have butter and sour cream on them. Had 2 handfuls of multi grain baked chips. And 2 SF jello lots of water. It's sitting around the house being bored that's getting me. And it's freezing outside. But tomorrow I have some running around to do. So maybe it will take my mind off of food. Didn't realize I could have a poach egg on whole grain toast. Manual coming in handy now How are you doing?

Alot of the anxiety you speak of palpitations and pulse racing sounds alot lie withdrawal symptoms . I had them when I quit smoking horrible feeling. Also the nurse at the hospital told me to make sure I had a stool in the shower to sit down because alot of patients do feel fatigue and weak from showers. Luckily I have a built in stool in my shower. Y'all becareful you all are worrying me. I feel for you who have small children and had this surgery I can't imagine having to worry about them. And glad you got rid of that cheating husband. Yes I can imagine all the stress your under going through this anda divorce Prayers to you all
