Ooof. I am in so much pain on my right side. No where else, just there. I'm also getting horrible headaches but only when I sleep. Drinking as much as I can so I'm pretty sure it's not dehydration. Any thoughts?

Having had terrible complications my dear...I'm going to give you the annoying and OH SO RIGHT answer of "CALL YOUR DOCTOR". Don't wait for someone here to say it's ok or not ok. That's not normal, not something you were told to expect, so call your doctor. Complications of this surgery are life threatening and should not wait for some dork like me on the internet to answer you! (And I say that with love in my heart because I never want anyone to experience the hell of complications of this surgery as I did)

The same thing happened to me, my head ached only when I slept. I thought it was because of all the medication so I wouldn't take anymore......which was a bad idea because I started dry heaving and it made my headache worse so I took the pain meds my surgeon gave me and I forced myself to drink more and the next day I felt so much better. I actually travelled 12 hours to get home and never looked back. I hope this helps.

      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.
