I had surgery on Friday 3/23 and for the last 2 days I have had awful pain on my left side and back area. Any clue what this might be? I don't think it's gas because I think I have figured out what that feels like and this is different.

It could be referred pain form the gas or it could be from the way that you were lying on the table or maybe they had to move things around a bit to get the band in. Take the meds your Dr has prescribed and if it doesn't get better then he/she is the person to speak to.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had to stop taking the pain med because I'm back at work and taking a nap every couple hours isn't an option anymore lol. I took a tylenol and that worked. If feels like muscle pain I just can't figure out the cause?

I'm having the same issue and I was banded on the 23rd. I guess it's just gas? My body tenses up super hard when I try to pass gas through my mouth or bottom. I'm still having trouble burping and I feel hungry constantly but I haven't added the Protein Drink yet but I'm doing one tonight so I'm hoping that will help but I'm laying in bed as I type this with horrible pains in my back and side

      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.
