Surgical pain should be behind you at this time. There are other situations that can cause discomfort but not to the extent you are describing. If you are in that much pain and you think it is directly attributed to the surgery, call your doctor. You may be experiencing pain from overeating or gas, both of which can be really bad. I hope you feel better!

I developed a bad UTI, Kidney infection that was also showing up in my blood.

I am on pain killers now. It does not help that I get a coughing at and my stomach muscle aches badly.

I hope you can sort the problem out.

Just one thing.I was still "under the weather" until 4 weeks post op.Started feeling a little better week 5 and at week 6 I was a okay.Started feeling normal and doing normal things.A lot slower than others but hey,how do you speed up healing?

Be nice to yourself and rest a lot.

And I know this might not feel helpful to you now,but just hang in there ok?

      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.
