I am 1 week post op and still having gas pains. How long is it supposed to last?
-
How are you doing?? I missed this message just getting used to the site. I have been doing really well. the hardest thing to deal with is the gas pains. Still on the protein drinks, just progressed to thickened liquids. The cream of soup taste like heaven. Looking forward to week 3 when I can add soft foods. Good Luck! Take an easy : )

11 days to surgery and I cheated! HELP!
sdeale0928 replied to RosieQ's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What kind of protein are you using? I eat the Unjury and it really does taste good, except for the strawberry. I used skim milk and then kept busy to redirect my mind, also not easy. I am 1 week post op still eating them. It isn't easy, my family eats all kind of great food around me. Hang in there! -
What made you decide to go to the sleeve after the band? Just wondering.

Congrats. I was banded a week ago April 10th. I had only minor pain and went back to work on Tuesday. Last night I started having shoulder gas pains, I am surprised it took six days. I am excited for what the furture holds. Feel better!
-
I thought I was in the clear with gas pains being I was 6 days after surgery. That is until last night, when it all seems to hint my, my shoudler has been killing me. I haven't had to take my pain meds until last night. I am surprised by the delay. Once I eat anything it starts hurting even more. AAHHHHH

I stayed at the hopsital one night and was dicharged yesterday. It was a good thing I stayed, I was dehydrated after surgery and had to have extra bags through my IV. Very happy that was the only minor happening. If I hadn't stayed it would have been a lot harder to get hydrated at home, when two to four sips make you feel completly full. My husband stayed with me, he was great! I am sore but not in a lot of pain, with is good. I had two surprising moments during my expreince. One was in the OR right before they gave me a shot to relax, I was thinking what the heck am I doing, this is crazy. I was completly excited until that point. I was out shortly then woke up in recovery, very sleepy. The second was the day of discharge, I hadn't gotten lunch yet and my husband brought his lunch back to the room, in case they released me soon. The smell of his french fries were just too much. I started to cry, thinking what in the world did I do. :w00t: I have eaten my share of french fries. I shouldn't feel that way. I felt better after I got my broth and jello. I think my major problem was a lack of sleep. I came home and went to bed. I haven't felt that way since, but I am sure I will have other moments, during this path to a healthier life. I am looking forward to feeling closer to normal. I have to allow myself time to heal, waiting can be really hard for me.

I created my ticker, then copied the BBHtml, and then pasted it into my signature. Hope this helps!

Good Luck! I go in Friday at 7:30am. It seems so close but so far away. I have heard the more you walk the faster the gas pain goes away. Did that work for anyone?
-
Were you able to work full days? I am getting banded on Friday and will be going back to work on Monday. Everyone has been saying it will take a week, but I really don't have a week to be away from work. Thanks!
-
Do you have to start a clear liquid diet tomorrow? The 800 calories per day hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be, but I m a little nervous with all liquids. Just wondering. Again Good Luck!!! I can't wait to get through the next six weeks.

4 days into the Pre-Op diet, I have lost seven pounds. :wub: Completed the Pre-Op testing today. All is set for Friday morning. So excited, just hoping I can get around good afterwards. I have to go back to work on Monday. :tt2:

I should add I am having the lap band procedure. I would push for the lapband instead of GB. It is your decision! -

I just completed my Pre op testing. It included blood work, chest x-ray, and an EKG. My freind just had the Gastric Sleeve and had to have a scope prior. I am only 3 days away. -

Need some advice on drinks...
sdeale0928 replied to hrtgoeson's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does the Welch dark berry drinks have artificial sweetners? I can't stand the taste and a little worry that I will only have plain water and tea. -
I finally have a date!! April 10th. 16 days!!! I can't wait, I am so excited. Yesterday I thought I would have to another 3 - 5 weeks, then today I have an April date! I am very excited!! Has anyone gone back to work, a desk job, 3 days after surgery? :huh2::eek::heart::eek::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I am glad to hear other people have done it before. I have scheduling issues at work and cant be gone. If I hadn't taken this date, I would have had to wait until May. I just wait to dive in and get through the first 6 weeks of post-op ASAP. I will let you know how I do.
