I had surgery yesterday and out of 6 incisions only one is killing me. Its the only one that has stitches. Ugh. Only one night in the hospital though so that was nice.

They didn't give me strong enough pain meds. liquid vicodin that I can take every 6 hrs. It lasts about an hour. I can't stand up straight to walk.

I'm 5 days post op& the gas pain is very painful. Even Water hurts going down. I have to sip very small sips. I had my sleeve done in Mexico & just got home yesterday. I did go to Target today & bought gas x chewable pills & Gaviscon.

The liquid med they gave me in Mexico doesn't seem to be working to good so I hope the Gavviscon helps. I am Able to drink hot tea In the am , aple juice, chicken broth, all ok. not sure why Water would hurt.

Hey there. I've heard that water hurts if it's too cold. Luke warm water might be 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.
