Lipstick lady, do you know what the name of the medication was that made the cramping happen less?

I haven't even tried anything but a few sips of water until just now. I am sipping on some chicken broth and it is tasting amazing right now. I haven't really had the nausea , so I feel for you on that. I couldn't imagine the pain of vomiting like this. The cough is bad enough. I don't know if they told you this but hold a pillow tight to your stomach when coughing or vomiting.

This has been helpful. I was sleeves on 7/21/15 also. I am pretty sore and wondering when it will go away. One thing I'm worried about is having a feeling to cough. When I start coughing it last awhile and I have been coughing up blood tinged mucus. It's not a lot of blood by any means. I think it just from the tube that was in my throat. I'm worried I could pop a stitch. Anyone else have that issue? Also I really haven't drank or eaten anything. Advice please.

Why was hard liquor bad for you? I have always drank vodka and assumed after the surgery and waiting period I would be ok to drink it.

Thanks mel77. I have just recently joined the site and everyone seems so helpful. I'm sure I will be posting a lot more.

Thanks inner surfer girl. I look forward to the day that happens.

I am scheduled for surgery 7/21/15 and I am so worried about being sad over not being able to eat. Honestly it is my biggest concern. I love food and this liquid diet has really been a struggle. I have gotten angry and cried over the thought of not being able to eat several pieces of pizza. ( favorite food). Do these feelings go away?

I had to quit smoking and it sucks. I too gained a lot of weight. I gained 20 lbs in 6 weeks. I didn't even think I was eating more. Now I'm am doing the preop diet and haven't lost the 20lb I gained but hope to by my surgery date.
