A girl I talked to was having pain and her doc told her that she was dehydrated and needed more liquids, but we all are different. I know we are supposed to get pressure on our chest. Sometimes the pressure might hurt" lat night I had to sleep w two pillows to keep my head rally high and not feel the pressure. As always, we will recommend to call the doc. He owes u a phone call (w/in 24, 48hrs). Call him. Right now I'm starting to feel the pressure

Start walking. It could be gas like the above poster suggested. That can be very painful! I have read a lot of posts from people saying they are only able to take small sips at a time right after surgery because of the pain. Just make sure you get enough liquids so you don't get dehydrated. If you ever feel uncomfortable about how your feeling you should call your surgeon. That's what they're there for! Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon!

I was banded 2/22/13 and when I swallow anything Water or juice I have a pain in my stomach is this normal?

if its (pain) that hurts, def let your dr know

if its just uncomfortable, then its a combo most likely

of being swollen, and maybe some gas. def keep on sipping.

      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.
