Is this pain normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I had my surgery on June 5th.... so about 9 months ago... I had my last fill 2 weeks ago and have had great restriction... all was well.

I think I might be getting some sord of stomach bug... because I've been making constant trips to the bathroom and I'm very nauseous since late last night. I was gagging and throwing up a lot (no food just clear stuff :w00t:). This is not related to me having a big meal or not chewing right ... its just from the bug.

I've been better for about 4 hours but I just drank some Water and I feel a bit of "pain" when it goes down. I can't even say its pain but its just different.

I guess I'm just really worried I might have damaged, slipped my band with all the gagging and throwing up.

If you are concerned the best thing to do is call or see your Dr.

Probably the discomfort is related to being ill and your oesophagus is probably swollen.

The best thing to relieve anything that is swollen is rest and ice(if its external then compression and elevation as well but your throat is internal)!

Don't try eating/drinking at the moment, rather suck on icechips. They are cool and soothing and they seem to work wonders with a sore inflamed throat.

Hope you feel better 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.
