So this is a little bit of a longer story but it's a 2 part question. So the other night I ended up going to the ER 2 nights in a row for severe stomach pain. The first night I went was from 3 days of feeling like I had done crunches all day. The pain went all across my stomach and on the left side of my back. The doctors took 9 hours to not really find anything. They refilled my pain meds and set me an appointment to check to see if I had an ulcer if the pain persisted. The next night I had such a sharp pain that I actually fell to the floor and had the wind knocked out of me. Went to the ER again and within a short time they said that I was "backed up." They prescribed me Miralax which has helped quite a bit. Unfortunately my doctor stood me up today (waited over an hour in the room before just leaving) so I wasn't able to check for the ulcer but I am still having a very hard time drinking and eating because of the nausea. The pain is bearable so I don't want to push another doctors appointment until mine next week. So my questions are 1) What are some signs of ulcers and 2) What are some good foods to eat to not have this backed up problem again? My doctor told me to watch out for fibrous foods because of what it can do to your stomach/bowels so I'm not sure of some other options that may work. I am not at the point I can drink coffee again since I am only 5 weeks out so I cannot do that one at least for another month. THANKS!

      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.
