No I havent cuz its saturday. I figured wait until monday. Don't wanna be without pain meds. Just started taking benadryl with it now. But this pain gets better right?

The pain does get better. perhaps you could call your pharmacy to discuss the reaction you are having. The paper you received with your meds should have mentioned the side affects. Itching sounds like its one. The pharmacists could suggest an alternative medication.

I so hope you feel better.

I had my surgery yesterday and did great but when I got back to my room my heart rate jumped to 150 and my blood pressure dropped to 90/60 they increased my liquids but it didn't help much so I was sent to surgery again! I had two leaks from what I hear and they were taken care of. Passed the swallow test earlier now I am waiting for the doctor to let me start drinking Water.< /div>

Glad to hear they were swift to find what was wrong and fix it quickly.

Anyone having bad diarrhea. Sorry that's gross. I've had it 5 times in the past hour or two and I'm worried bc I am not drinking enough to keep up with that volume. I don't know what to do.

Hello Elaine,

Four days after my surgery, my body seemed to want to purge everything that had been put into me while in the hospital. It required me to remain very close to home. When it finally subsided, my stomach seemed to have shrunk from all the extra fluids and I felt so much better overall.

Hang in there!

Thank you me as we'll. my surgeon just came to check me and he told me that I had been bleeding internally and I had to have two blood infusions but he could not locate where I was bleeding. The hospital staff has been great and I being closely watched and feeling so much better.

Thanks Nelliebean. I feel better bc I am exactly 4 days out! I did have to drink a lot of nastiness at the hospital. My body is probably trying to get rid of blue dye and iodine.

Hey guys can i have G2 to drink? It has 7 carbs in it

Is it zero calorie? My nut said less than 30 cals a serving less than 20 carbs for regular drinks and soups... So if the cals are in line i say go for it. Jist remember one serving is small. A whole bottle might be 150 cals.

      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.
