You must walk, on my first day of surgery the nurses came in and woke us up every two hours to make us walk regardless what god awful time it was even in the middle of the night. push yourself to walk. Awe I feel bad for you it must hurt . I didnt have it bad at all but im limping around like a 90 year old I wound up with a blood clot in my leg so we all get something. I hope you feel better soon.

If you can get your hands on a heating pad or hot water bottle, and put it on your upper back.....it will help tons. Sorry your hurting so badly.

I hate to say it but the only thing to work is walk walk walk. I would have someone pat me hard on the back (like burping a baby) I felt it helped. Also look into gas x strips. I did not use them but others swear of them.

Just walk. I was told gas x strips have no effect because it is a different kind of gas. I know it hurts but it goes away eventually. Mine was gone by day 4-5.

It will be a million times better by tomorrow babe. Ask for some meds, keep up the walking, get some rest. Praying for you.

Walking does help and by day 3-4 much better but walk as much as you can tolerate to prevent clots and helps prevent gas wishing you all the best

LMBO! I forgot the doctor fills you up with air to make more room and be able to maneuver. I'm crying over here, I'm laughing so hard. I thought you were about to launch into space or something. I hope you feel better soon, I'm so sorry for the stupid question. :unsure:

      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.
