I'm sorry Rhonda, Do you think it is pain from incisions or gas? A heating pad may help. Good luck and feel better.

Walk walk walk. It seems to help the most with the pain.

Is it pain all over or more like you have been kicked in the tummy by a horse??? The largest incision is where the excess tummy was removed so the muscle was cut. I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow ( June 19th ) and I am still just a bit sore. Able to sleep on my tummy but still hurts to turn over. If it is up in your back and shoulders/neck it's gas. Not the kind you can toot out either. From being inflated. Walk ( baby steps ) as much as you can. Tell the nurses so they can give you something or call the Sr. and see what he or she wants to do. Don't feel like you are being a bother. They are paid to take care of you. ASK for help.

For a lot of people days two and three are the worst. You will be on the other side of this before you know it.

I am 3 weeks post op

When I came out of surgery I was in so much pain and I thought it was the incisions. It turned out to be the gas pain. The gas pain was unbelievable to me. The incisions were a piece of cake. I have had c-sections and it was nothing like that.

It's true what they say walking makes it easier

I am 10 days out and I can't even remember what the pain felt like anymore. I feel fantastic! It's all for a great purpose. Take ur pain killer and wait it out. It's part of the process.

Hey guys thank you. I've had lots of pain and nausea throwing up too. It's excruciating pain just getting up and down to the bathroom. I'm hoping Tommorow will be better

Sorry you are so miserable :( By day 4 or 5, you will definite feel better. The first 3-4 days were the hardest. I'm 9 weeks out now and I honestly can't remember much. All I remember was the bed was miserable. Feel better, it will get better.

      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.
