You may be too tight. I would definitely call our doctor if you are having problems eating and really with your drinking. Don't wait too long. Dehydration is not good at all.

Sorry I didn't put that I just had surgery on Thursday.

I had mine done Thursday too so we are in the same boat. I feel tight in my chest when I try to breathe in deep. Right now I have a heatin pad on my chest. I think mine is getting better, I have been using gas-x strips and I am not sure if they are helping but I don't think it hurts to use them. My biggest pain is the port incision, sometimes it feels like needles! I hope for you and myself that tomorrow we start feeling good. I am scheduled to go back to work on Monday so I nervous and hopeful! Hope you feel better... We can at least chat our wy through some of the same thigs!

My pain is the gas mostly and the heat pad was my best friend but my doc told me not to put it on my tummy. They rather ice it. So I just put it on my back. My best friend rubbed my back so good last night and I got a lot of gas out.

Yep same here. It hurts when i try taking a deep breath. I'm not too worried though as i'm thinking it's just gas and the pain from my incisions. I just got banded yesterday (friday)

But they have a 24hr doc that will answer all ?'s do at least I feel a little comfortable knowing that. I'm a little dizzy too, but gonna try and walk some more, thinking its all as related. Good luck. First weeks the hardest from what I've heard.

I'm feeling OK today, I feel hung over though cuz I don't want to take the hyrocodone anymore. Every 4 hours I would get this huge headache andy body would start itching so the last time I took it was at 10:30 last night and now it's almost 2 pm. I just took some Tylenol children's . Still haven't ate ( drank) a whole lot of food. And no BM for me yet.

Sorry, didn't know you just had surgery. Definitely the gas. I got up and walked around the house at least every hour when I got home to get the gas out. You may have a little pain from where the port was attached also. I felt that discomfort for about a month. It is all normal as you had surgery and believe it or not, it does take the full six weeks to heal. Try to walk as much as you can and it will help.

I also had hietal hernia repair at the same time and that pain was more between the breast area and lasted longer. It will get better. I just took the pain meds at night to make sure I got a good nights sleep so your body can heal. Also you can get liquid adult strength tylenol from the pharmacy if you want something that is not as strong.

      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.
