Its finally my B Day!



Recommended Posts

I had that same pain with my lap band surgery. What they gave you for pain amounts to regular aspirin! That won't cut it. They should have given you a narcotic for the first few days! I'd get on the phone and have them call in something much stronger!! The gas pain can be remedied with either gas x' date=' a heating pad or best yet, lots of walking around. It really will help. For the non gas pain, call them or hit an emergency room for a quick dose until your doctor can get something stronger called in to the pharmacy. They gave me lots of liquid Vicodin. It saved my sorry butt! You'll thank me later. Please keep me posted. Now I'm worried and hurting for you! Poor thing.....[/quote']

Just waiting on a call back from my doctor!

I think things are probably done slightly different here in the UK!

No hardcore narcotics for me yet!

I had morphine straight after the operation but just soluble paracetamol and codeine since, which as you say just isn't cutting it!

Will return with news if I get a script sorted today!

Thanks for the support x

      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.
