So I had planned on returning to work today, almost a week after being banded. I had my first post op visit with the doctor yesterday and all went well. I've been feeling pretty good, soreness went down and I felt ready for full liquids.

Well, I woke up this morning, showered up and jumped in the car to head in and on the way, got just about the most upset stomach I've ever had. I had to turn around and go home which I'm pretty upset about. Looks like I'm gonna take the rest of the week and rest, and head back to work on Monday.

So, is this normal to have happen, the "upset" stomach part? I'm hoping with some creamy Soups and pudding, something more than just liquids things might start feeling a bit better on the other end. Anyone else feel this way?

Jamie, did your dr recomend an antacid or prescribe something? I had a 1 month script for prevacid rx strength. I felt i didnt need it after the second week. It also could have been nervousness about going back. It is a good idea to get the extra rest. Who was your dr and what hosp? I am from jersey too!

My doctor was Dr. Prokurat out of Centerstate Hospital in Freehold, NJ. He's a great doctor. I'm at home now, sipping on Isopure and Water and my stomach isn't feeling any better. Normally, I would eat some toast or crackers but obviously, I can't. This is the worst I've felt so far...

Do you know what started the upset stomach??? had you not eaten before you left the house?? it's strange to get an upset stomach for no reason unless that is "normal" with the band, i wouldn't know i don't have my band yet...good luck hope you feel better.

I frequently get an upset stomach. Sometimes its from the Protein Shake, other times its from gas I haven't passed. I start sipping as soon as I can (1/2 hour after Protein shake) and it passes within an hour or so. It's not pleasant but it is tolerable.

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.
