Post op day 6. Yesterday I started feeling kinda bad, my menstrual is on full gear:(, I've been getting headaches n more gas for some reason. The worst thing/pain is probably my hemorrhoid I developed :( it is huge, probably the size of a grape outside my .... you know... I'm using creams n medicated wipes but it is hurting so bad. I took stool softener, milk of mag and putting benefiber in my Water but its not producing much. Then there is this light headache that developed yesterday, it is in my temples n the top of head and it makes me a little nauseous?/disoriented I guess you could say. I'm nit dehydrated so the only thing I'm thinking is maybe a detox because I didn't have a preop diet. Today started having gas everytime I drink which is also weird but maybe from the Fiber? Don't know but hope I get some relief soon.

Wow, poor thing, I am sorry you are having so many issues...all at once. I only had a two day pre op liquid diet and had no headaches at all, you may want to call the doc on that one. As for the rest, in time, they too will get better, just hang in there. Hugs to you!

I am sorry. Prob time will be the best for you. It is ok to have a bad day now and then. Find a great movie that will make you laugh. Call a good friend or go sit out in the sun for a bit. Know that tomorrow will be better. Good luck!

Aww, I'm so sorry for you :( You sound just miserable. Something that helps me is lying back in a nice extra warm bath by candle light. Staying off your feet helps the behind area. Also the low light and warmth of the bath might help the headache.

Girlfriend, time to relax. Use this time, especially if you are off work, to do absolutely nothing. Try sipping on Water, try to walk to move the gas, run your belly to help with gas...this too shall pass (pardon the pun) lol

At day 6 you might lay off the stool softener. There is nothing there. You aren't eating. It feels like you need to go but it's likely just gas. Walk walk walk. Best thing. And hang in there, it will get better.

      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.
