Hi, I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Is anyone else having trouble wearing jeans or tight clothing? It hurts on the left side the next day so bad??? Anyone else with this problem??

Well I am about 2 1/2 weeks and it bothers me to wear a waistband anywhere near my incisions and you are right... esp. the left side. I am still wearing these stretchy capris with a soft easy waist band. I have started wearing a "Sweet Nothings" top as my belly is starting to get kind of jiggly and that bothers me when walking fast or exercising.

I wear those too. Those are the best tanktops!!!! I really help stabilize everything!!!

I have the jeans problem also but as my pants get looser, it's getting better

Re "sweet nothings" tank tops-- where do you buy them?

Can get the tanktops at Wal-mart. They come in all different colors...

I have the same problem almost. The pain in my left side has finally stopped. But the fixed waist band of my low rise jeans are still a bit uncomfortable. I believe my tummy area is still swollen a bit and I'm attributing that for the tightness in the waistline as my jeans are loose in the hip/thigh area. I recenly purchased Danskin capris from Walmart with elastic waist and are super soft, I could leave in these things.

Yes that is what I am wearing Danskin Capris. I love them. They are so stretchy and soft I think I will be able to wear them for awhile.

      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.
