You might want to call your doc and get in to see him/her Hun. At three weeks out you should be almost back to normal and it sounds like you are still having a lot of issues. Three weeks out or so I was lying on an operating table having a leak repaired. I had the surgery and never got better. You don't have leak symptoms but id still get a checkup with your surgeon.

I wonder if what you are experiencing is a spasm. It feels constricting and like something is tying your stomach in to a knot. I had that the first two weeks after surgery. It does go away but it is painful enough that I would vomit. Anything I would drink or eat would put me in to a spasm. Sometimes acid blockers would help. But if you feel like it is something serious you should definitely contact your doctor. I am sorry you are going through this- it's miserable. I hope you get over it soon!!!!!

Please call your doctor. That's the only way to find out what is happening.

Call your doc. If I recall you posted about dehydration, didn't go in when the consensus was go in for fluids and ended up passing out and hitting your head. This is not something to mess around with. Listen to your body. There are lots of possibilities - just call or go in this time. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but you can really put yourself at risk if you don't seek the advice of a doctor - we are poor substitutes ultimately for a real medical opinion.

Yup I had the spasms pretty bad right after surgery up to a good week after surgery. They are "owie". Hope yours subside very soon! All the best!

      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.
