Sorry for jukping in so late. Some of you have asked about painf hiccups.

Mine hurt like heck the first few weeks. I had a hiatal hernia fixed. Usually the doc has to stitch up a tear in the diaphragm. So it hurts! But it does stop. For me it was around three weeks out.

I have had hiccups as well. Very painful. I had a hernia repair too. I figured it was just the spasms of the sore muscles. Better so far today. Slept for most of yesterday and all of last night. Still very tired though. Working on my liquids and Protein.< /p>

Wow. I have had trouble getting in liquids today. Is everyone else still having trouble getting liquids in? The color of my pee still looks ok. Sorry if TMI. If that changes I'm going to call the on call Dr.

I haven't had any trouble drinking. But I'm further out than you. Just take it slow and try Gatorade.

I had horrible hiccups the first week but they are gone now. Wait until you sneeze :)

Also, I know this is tmi but we are all in the same boat. I didn't go #2 for 8 days. I finally mixed some Miralax with my drink and the next day I went. Now it's all diarrhea. Everything I've read says that's normal because we are only drinking liquids.

Ohhhh sugar..... I'm still taking the Hydrocodone. But it said I could take it.

My dr and pharmacist both said that while taking the liquid pain killer Roxicet (hydro condone) do not take other pain killers including tylenol products and vicodin, or any sleep medicines like ambien, or sinus meds that make you sleepy like Benadryl......

I use the gatorade G2 because it is lower in sodium, sugar, etc. but still tastes good.

Mine said smaller than a baby aspirin do not need to be crushed. Capsules can turn sideways as they go down. Stuck pills is the worst. I say go liquid or grind them and put it in liquid unless it is a med that cannot be altered. Check with the pharmacist first.

Hi everyone!! well i had my surgery on Monday... WOW !!!

It was not as bad as I thought it would be ..the pain that is ... gas discomfort and nausea was really bad .. I stayed a little longer at the hospital, the anistesia and Morphine kicked my butt .. I stoppped taking the Morphine that first night, it just made me too nauseated.The gas x strips helped and are still helping.. everyday that passes gets better. I have my 1 week post op on tuesday. I do have to say that my head craves what my tummy cant have .. things that i have eaten and enjoyed.. popsicles -sugar free fudgcicles- sugar free

greek low or nonfat vanilla yogurt thinned out with non fat milk... beef stew - pureed and thinned out

oatmeal and cream of wheat thinned out with nonfat milk. Soups

Im fortunate my Dr. says if it pours its yours so i get a little more options that some of the other sleevers that are on clear liquids... any questions plz dont hesitate to ask ..just messsage me cause i dont always check the threads. Good luck to all the future sleevers ... i will see you on the other side

I would suggest tylenol suppositories. ..thts what they gave me @ hospital after being sleeved

Suppositories! Every 4-6 hours with everything else going on... leave my butt alone! That would've annoyed me! I have liquid tylenol.

      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.
