looks like we are all on the same page, I have more pain in the morning. I keep ice packs going 20 minutes on 20 off. I ahve not tried gas-x maybe thats all I need to cut back on the pressure. I will try that now and see what happens. And I also have plenty of gurgling sounds and plenty of the lower gas too. But what does feel wierd is burping, I think that is when I actually feel something on the stomache itself. Like a sort of tigh feeling.

My Dr suggested I take two weeks off' date=' but I am a nurse and have to restrain patients on a regular basis so that won't be good for my incisions! My name is Kelly and I will look you up on Facebook :)[/quote']

I work on the railroad I dig and lift thing all the time and went back after 2 weeks off just remember not to use your stomach use your legs

I'm really not experiencing any pain at this point. A little tightness and pulling at the port site, some gas pressure, but no pain. I guess after 4 cesareans this is cake! LOL

      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.
