So I had the procedure 3/3/15. Thought it was the worse decision I ever made. I would have rather had 6 labor and deliveries or this surgery. I don't do well with pain meds... Therefore I didn't get a great amount of relief like most people do. Nausea has been rough. Every drink I've taken I felt pain going thru top to bottom. Diarrhea is an issue too. Running to the bathroom like I have a GI bug. All and all this is day 3 post op. Today has been a better day. Less nausea and pain. This morning I had trouble taking fluids in without stomach pains or running to the bathroom. But I took a little nap, woke up and chewed my flinestone vitamin and my tums, than chased it down with a sugar free orange Popsicle and I have to say it layed well so far. Getting ready for my next tramadol for pain, and I'll have to take some more carafate to coat my stomach. Has anyone else experienced this much pain/discomfort post op? My best friend had her's done 6 months ago, and she had none of these symptoms she had it so easy. ???? please give input.

Yeah it's what keeps me going. Still uncomfortable when the liquid digests which helps with me hunger cravings, but I think mine are all mental. It's still early I'm in a few days I'm be feening for a slice of pizza or grilled chicken!!!

I got sleeved 3/3 too, and today I want food, would never think to eat it because I know I would be in so much pain. But the thought is killing me. Just 4 more weeks and I can have a more normal diet. I understand. ????

I'm day 3 post op and have the same issue with medications causing pain. They say it's the swelling inside causing us such discomfort. It's getting better daily.

March 3rd here, struggling with this pre op diet. I've cheated way too much. Never consumed more than 1,000 calories a day, but afraid that this weakness will cause catastrophe for my mind after surgery. Anyone else?

Day 2 of pre op diet. Don't know how this forum really works. Or if anyone will read this, so here goes..... Surgery is 3/3 I just signed consent today. And I'm day 2 of pre op diet. Definitly hungry, right now college inn chicken broth is my savior. Any advice????? ????
