Need Help w/ Referred Diaphragm Pain!
Jenna22 replied to weso631's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm three days out of surgery and my gas pains are really getting better. I got icey hot patches and cut them in strips. I placed them right under my boobs and that helped weirdly! I don't know if it is gas or the hernia but it has relieved the sharp pains. Also, as someone said above, raise your arms above your head and take big breaths. The first few sucks but then it feels so much better. -
Ok....today is a bit worse. The gas is HORRIBLE. Didn't sleep much...just plan on sleeping sitting up for a few days. I'm not a back sleeper and now my back hurts from that. Got up around 3am and had Robert help me into the recliner. My bed is hella high and had to use abs to get in and out....that is PAINFUL! They tell you to walk as much as you can....it for sure helps! I'll send you pic of my cuts sometime today!

Surgery went great! I'm doing really good! I have no pain just a bit gassy feeling around the rib cage but not even that hurts! I'm lucky girl! Came out of recovery crying but that was normal for me after being knocked out. We'll see how tomorrow goes and if the pain is any worse but if it isn't....this surgery is a breeze!

Did you cheat on pre-op liquid diet
Jenna22 replied to crystalcml's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
BTRIEGER, You could be a bit nicer. Many people screw up but they learn. You have been here and done this....don't be so freakin judgmental. This is a very hard process and it's all about learning from your mistakes. You don't have to offend everyone else because they make a mistake. It's rude and immature. From your other posts, I thought you were more supportive than that. -
Did you cheat on pre-op liquid diet
Jenna22 replied to crystalcml's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
As you read above, I only cheated once. Well one cheat went into another! Ug. Went to the movies yesterday and had nachos and popcorn. TALK ABOUT A HUGE MISTAKE! My stomach has been hurting and have been running to the bathroom every 10 mins. Even in my 5th day preop, my stomach has changed. DON'T CHEAT GUYS! Or if you cheat....cheat right....not stupidly like i did! :thumbup: -
First....let me apologize.... :thumbup: Did any one have problems with the bubble guts? My stomach has been bubbling like crazy! I can tell it isn't hunger bubbles. I have been burping and (well sorry to say) tooting like crazy! It is a bit painful at times. Is this normal??? Gas-X has been my best friend for the past week. Any other home remedies or suggestions??:smile2:
-
Good Luck Lori!!! Mine is one week from tomorrow!!! At least you have only one week pre-op! Keep strong and know that you will get through it!!! Let's be band buddies!!!

I've heard that you cannot have red jello or beef broth before surgery from reading these forums.....why no red jello??? Does it dye your insides or something?? :-) I've also seen a few posts about beef broth....that's not good either? I'm on my two week pre-op diet and don't want to screw up anything!

Your totally right!
