strange pain once a month



Recommended Posts

so for the 2nd time, about 5 days b4 my period, i get what feels like heartburn or stabbing pain right between my chest. it hrts when i breath and i feel pressure and it hurts.

I went running to my surgeon yesterday cuz i was scared.

Fluids go down just fine, and and i only eat 1 meald a day and thats the night b4.

Soooooo my surgeon said right off the bat its NOT my band, since things can pass through thats a def sign it not the band. he gave me a xray and i swalloed stuff and saw everything was fine, he actully said i could use a fill, im at 7cc and im wide open ( great)

BUT what i can figure out is this. I had bought new bras at Lany Braynt, since then that is when it started. Now us ladies know Layne Bryant does not sell bras, they sell BOULDER HOLDERS LOL , but they have a wiwde band across the middle, AND when i take my bra off, about 20 mins later I am FINE????? i am assume that from my pms my boobsswell, well i know they do, but maybe the swelling of the boobs mixedwith a tighter big banded bra over my band????

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS??? so far it seems i have the 1% of things that never happen to people happen to me lol

ANYBODY ELSE????? Id love to hear feedback PLEASE :huh:

Frist off, you need to eat more than once a day. Your body needs the Protein in order to loose good. I have swelling every month with pms. My band also gets tighter during this time put I know after a few days it will loosen back up. I would try a different bra, maybe without under-wire during this time and see if it helps.

It maybe the wire in the bra. I can't wear underwire bras. The wire sits right on top of where my port is. I kept getting strange pains when I wore my bra, when I took it off it was fine. I mentioned it to the Dr. and he said it's your bra. So I don't wear underwire bras anymore. Which is very hard to find.

Lane Bryant is not the best place to buy a bra. Go to Leggs and get measured and you can buy a good bra that fits for the same price. Good luck!

      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.
