10 days after surgery or 10 days after you take the CAPS LOCK OFF.

Whichever comes first.

3/11 I had a hernia procedure at the same time. My postop was last Thursday he kept me on full-liquids. My doc said I needed extra heal time. But, if I ate too much or drank too fast I would feel those pains. And I have. I will start my pureed foods next week. Be sure to keep your doc informed on your condition and discomfort! Hope you start feeling better!

I was sleeved/hiatal hernia repaired on 3/11 as well, and know EXACTLY what you are taking about with the pain! As it was explained to me, the swelling in that area lies right on a nerve that goes up through your diaphram and into your left shoulder. OMG, it was AWFUL!!!

The pain WILL subside as the swelling goes down; take it easy and don't overdo it. My pain lasted almost 2 weeks. Everyone is different; but don't panic. It'll go away as you heal! Good luck!!

I am sure it will. I had an esophageal/ Sliding hernia. Just take your time with drinking and eating. As soon as I get that ache-I stop drinking or eating. Start back when I feel better. My doc said for me to call his office if pain does not stop or for basically anything. You should be getting better not worst-call your doc if you don't get better!

Yes, it does go away completely. I had a repair and it did hurt to swallow for about 10 days post op. It will get better. :D

Miss Kitty, do you think CAPS LOCK should be used on forum posts, even when we are really frustrated?

Another question for you Miss Kitty. Do you think threads should be hijacked taking the attention away from the OP and focused on my sillyness?

      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.
