Gas pains after 3 months?



Recommended Posts

what date did you have your surgery? Are you have with it? I am finishing up my last doctor's requirement next week but I am ready for the surgery. After the you have done all the doctor wants you to do how long is the wait or how long was your wait?

I was wanting to know, how long after you have completed everthing through your doctor would it be before you can have the surgery?

i just wanted to add that i had the exact same shoulder/back pain months after surgery - finally someone on another chat group told me it was often a sign of overeating - i checked it and it was true for me - i have a terrible time telling when to stop eating as i've always stuffed mysefl to the gills pre band. honestly, it has only happened a few times since then - check it out.

MaryS,

Try keeping a food journal. I know it sounds silly, but if you keep track of what you eat, when, how much, etc. it's easier to figure out what's wrong. I thought that the person that suggested this to me was nuts ... well, she may be nuts, but it's a great idea!

I have the exact pain in my shoulder neck. I made an appointment with my PCP. To get on pain meds.But, I must say. It feels like nerves. From my mid back to my shoulder and on to my neck and then a serious headache. It stops me in my track. I some times can't even move. Has there been any fatalities dur to this? Thanks, I not know that I am not alone when it comes to this pain. <TABLE id=HB_Mail_Container height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0 UNSELECTABLE="on"><TBODY><TR height="100%" width="100%" UNSELECTABLE="on"><TD id=HB_Focus_Element vAlign=top width="100%" background="" height=250 UNSELECTABLE="off">

      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.
