Swelling. Carbonation?



Recommended Posts

Hi. Any feedback is appreciated. I am experiencing swelling on stomach surface. A little pain, but not serious. I do not have a fever, so am thinking it is not infection.

Have not been overeating and have not thrown up at all. Currently, can eat and drink, nothing is getting caught. Has anyone had the swelling symptoms before? Do you know what caused it. I did have 3 vodka tonics last night. I learned that tonic Water is carbonated. In any event, probably less than 12 oz for the whole night? I really don't think that is it, but wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else.

Look forward to and appreciate your response.

Thanks

I do not drink I will tell you I think that it is gas. It is too earlly to be drinking in this Process it should go away in a couple of days, but you should call your Doctors office and see what they say about drinking? Empty calories

pretty much if it has bubbles when you pour it , it's carbonated, my dr told me not to drink until after my 1st adjustment so the band has time to heal .

      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.
