Marissa,

You might want to check in your healthfood store for "Oxbile" --- I haven't tried it myself, but a friend's mother swears by it. Says it works wonders for those suffering severe gas pain.

Other than that, walking around, and keep taking your pain medication. If your shoulder hurts, try making a hot/warm pack for it: Pour some dry, uncooked rice into an old pillowcase, tie it closed, zap it in the microwave for about 2 minutes...

Hey, at least we're laughing. I wasn't sure if I'd ever laugh again after the pain I had on day 3! OH the gas.....Made me so nauseated, I was terrified I'd end up wretching over the throne....never did, though. So NOT funny...

TG --- Didn't your doc prescribe you some anti-nausea med, like liquid phenergan?

My doc prescribed a freaking pint of it, because he doesn't want me puking at. All. I haven't used it much, save for the Splendid Splenda Mistake and BurpFest '07... :mad:

Glad to be of help, BabyGrl! You can buy those rice bags too, in all shapes and sizes. Might as well, too, with the money you're saving on food. LOL! :biggrin1:

*frowns, looks in own pocketbook, and dodges a moth*

Maybe not... LOL...

OH the gas is back folk the gas is back.

My wallet has been empty for at least a week now. I did however just fill a pillowcase with some white and borwn rice to heat up lol.

I had anti nausea meds, but it was in suppository form....I used one, and it didn't help that much. Altho, it MAY have had SOMETHING to do with the fact that I didn't ACTUALLY have to go hurl...

TG,

 

Ha! More like a baby, a 5-year old, an 8 year old, and a husband! :mad:

 

Bwaha!

 

Just kidding.

My 8-year old is really grown up.

 

Bwahaha!

 

Actually, my husband's been a real sweetheart.

 

In all honesty, I'm thinking I'm running on pure, 100%, Grade-A, Ultra-Pasturized Insanity! :biggrin1:

 

(I could've sworn I've mentioned my Most-Excellent Pain Medicine. Didn't I? )

LMFAO! Suppository form? Ugh. That's much less fun. Ask your doc for liquid phenergan. :mad:

 

BG -- I hope Uncle Ben 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.
