Will It Always Hurt? Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I had my surgery 07/25 so 1 week post -op today. For the most part I am doing ok but my sleeve keeps growling and making crazy sounds. When it does that it hurts? also hurts a whole lot when I try to drink my flids and Protein. How long does this last? will it get worst as I am allowed to move up in stages of what i can eat?

Thanks for the support! :unsure:

I had my surgery march 30th, it's the wind that hurt the most and it has taken me about three months to learn how to deal with this. It's like a baby learning to cope with it, I have used infa care a wind medicine for babies (my dietian advised this). I now find that if I take tiny sips of Water and small amounts of food my new stomach can cope with it.

Don't give up it just takes time to adjust. It's the best thing I have ever done!

My sleeve makes all sorts of weird noises too. Most of them don't hurt, but some do. It seems like the smaller sips I take and more time I take having meals, the less noise it makes. Also if I try and eat every 2 hours it's less talkative too.

Glad to hear your feeling better. I didn't have a drain, so no help there. I will tell you that every time I advance to a new phase of food my stomach makes all of these weird gurgling noises. It doesn't hurt, but is very loud. It cracks me up every.single.time. It only lasts for a day or so.

My surgery was on July 30 and my new tummy makes all kind of noises. I can't wait to see what it does when I start adding food. Lol

I'm having the same problem, I thought I was alone! It hurts at times to swallow and I'm hearing all this gurgling and rumbling and I'm still struggling with gas.

Whenever I start to feel gas pain I get up and walk around and that usually helps. I still haven't burped or farted any. If I take to big of a drink then that hurts too.

      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.
