Help! So much pain!!!



Recommended Posts

Surgery Date April 8, 2009. I had my last fill Dec 30 and went almost 1 month with pain from eating. It was pain in between and just below my breast area. I am figuring that is something stuck in my band. I am going in in two days to get some liquid taken out of my band. Just made the appt today. I had a horrible weekend with pain from most items I ate. salad hasn't bothered me in the past week so I decided to have a salad tonight and big mistake. I am in so much pain, I have been doubled over and crying (not like me at all). This pain is different and I believe it is gas pain. It is in my lower abdomen. I have taken 3 pepcid dual action chewable tablets and 4 tsp of Maalox advanced maximum strength and no relief. What can I do? I only ate about 2 oz. This has been going on for about 1 1/2 hrs. Any suggestions?

I'm so sorry to hear you're in so much pain right now. I had bad lower abdominal pain, took 2 chewable Gas X and dranks some hot herbal tea, went to bed and felt fine in the morning. I hope that you feel much better after your appt. Take care.

You poor thing! Try only liquids until you get in to see doctor. Your fill might have made you to tight :) Its miserable I know, went 6 months one time like that. Good luck, I hope it gets better for you soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
