What type of pain from the gas? How was the surgery team was everyone nice?

The surgery team was really nice, make sure you follow their instructions. You are supposed to get up and walk at least 30 minutes every day to combat that gas. It was gas that they pump in you for surgery and it gets trapped everywhere. Those gas strips did not help, the gas is not in your stomach it's everywhere the strips can't get to.

My lazy butt didn't feel like doing anything after surgery and I wished I had it took about 2 weeks for that damn gas to get out of my back and shoulder. Very painful. Make sure you use that breathing aparatus as well you don't want pneumonia to set in.

      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.
