Thanks!! Getting scared!! Up until now everybody been telling me this is no big deal. Now I'm hearing how bad gas is after, just had coworker tell me he had hard time catching his breath after surgery & how horrible it was & the pain he had. Now I'm freaking out about going through process.

Not to worry! Everyone different on how they deal with discomfort. I had Gbypass 18 years ago and THAT was pain! Had my band put on in July in Mexico, they have me tramodol which is their equivalent to Vicodin. I walked through the border line 2 days after. Some of us also like a little "extra" med so we can get some well deserved rest. The had pains went away the more you get up and move. Just toot toot toot along... Well worth it!

I had roxicet - liquid Percocet - and it was great. I needed it for about a week but it was mostly just at night or first thing in the morning.

I had Lortab elixir and Phenergan, but I only needed Tylenol. I had a really easy recovery though.

Immediate release oxycodone and promethazine. Both very small and easy to swallow. Works great. Gas pains are bettered with walking.

      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.
