Whew! Me too!

Fyre, so glad you got SOME relief to calm your nerves a wee bit by going to the ER. And don't worry how that stinking dr feels and don't allow him/her to make you feel dumb. They don't feel dumb when they send you a 3,000 dollar bill for that visit. Ugh.

You don't need a psychiatrist for THIS episode ;) now, if you would have punched the dr in the throat, may have been a different story.

Feel better soon. :)

The pains still here. I did sleep. Feeling like jumping off a bridge.

I hope you get answers soon.

Obviously I'm not a doc but my gallbladder attacks hurt worse than 26 hours of labor pains did. Easily.

I will say that losing weight fast seems to cause body aches. I started having a lot if pain in my hip 4 weeks out. Had tests X-rays all looked fine. But it did not change the fact that it hurt.

I did a search on this forum and found a lot of people had experienced the same thing ( and other body pains) I think weight loss significantly changes the way your body moves and the way your muscles work. It could put a lot of stress on the joints?

Sorry you are going through this. Did you put a call in to your surgeons office? Every office should have an exchange that can make contact 24 hrs a day. Can you eat and drink normally? Is the pain constant or episodic??

I think it's already been said, but I'm wondering is you are low on potassium. I hope it all gets figured out! It's weird that your abdomen and calf muscles hurt. Is it any better?

They took a chest X-ray and he pushed into my side and said I didn't feel like it was my gallbladder.

      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.
