HELP!!! I was banded on the 19th. Procedure was done around 5:45 that fri evening. I have not eaten since Thursday the 18th. I've done good so far. Gas pain a lot better. Actually went to gym this morning(tues) and walked a mile very slowly. All was well doing Protein Drinks and liquids until I decided to make a puréed Soup today. I drank probably 5-6 oz and I drank about 3oz of apple juice and Water over a period of 3 hrs. Anyway, I'm miserable! Feels like something is stuck I'm my throat and my stomach is a constant rumble. I took nausea pill and Gasx and NO relief yet. My stomach is actually sore. I can't even imagine drinking h2o. I even keep burping. Anybody had this or similar?...please help me!!!...sistercin

Hi

Hang in there the feeling will pass.

I don't think you should have had the Soup. Most doctor say Clear Liquids for a full week following surgery but each doctor is different. I had to follow a four week plan Post-op plan... I really stuck to my menu plan... I was afraid to change it :)

Don't over do it with exercise... remember you had surgery you need time to heal..

It will get better!!!

I am on day 3, I was allowed mushy before leaving the hospital but was told start one to two ounces, not more than 4, maybe just a little to much Soup? Apple juice also upsets my stomach, even before surgery. Give the feeling time to pass, then maybe start slower

Wow... mushy foods the first week. The acid in the apple juice might be hard on your stomach big cheese.

If you are concerned the first thing you should do is call your doctor. There are no band doctors or nurses on this site that I have heard of.

Hello. First and fore most, call your doctor. They are there for you. and no concern is too small that they shouldnt address it. That being said, I had a similar experience. For the first week after surgery i was in unbelievable pain. It does get better. Stick with it, follow directions, and you will do great. Best of luck!!!!!!

I think you should def call ur surgeon. The walking is good, seeing as its the only thing that helps that pesky gas after surgery. I would stay on liquids until I speak to my doctor.

      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.
