My sore incision is on the right side( that where my doc took out stomach). I can not live w/o the abdominal binder. Yesterday I learned to just take my pain meds around the clock and not let it get out of control. Today has been much better. Also take your zofran (or anti- nausea med) as often as u can to help w nausea.

I've had a few. Just started that today. Anyone else having issues trying to drink? I'm suppose to be getting 64oz a day I've got up to about 28 so far.

I was sleeved Oct 1. I have sharp pains in the upper right quadrant every time I take a drink. I'm not nauseated at all and am keeping it all down. I can just feel everything I swallow move through me and hit like a punch in the gut when it gets to the upper right side. Normal?

Okay I'll try the apple sauce. I started taking my pain med around clock today and I can tell the difference. I took zofran and they also have a nausea patch behind my ear. It suppose to last for three days. If this is the worst part I'll take it. My blood pressure has been normal ever since surgery and that's huge for me. :)

I'm not for sure if its normal. I can't feel anything going down. Maybe you could call your doctor and ask him. Hope it gets better soon.

Thank you- I went for a walk and took some GASX. Maybe I'm taking too big of drinks. If it doesn't get better, I will call.

It does get better. Take the pain meds, walk, and drink. I found the more I walked, the better I felt. Short, easy walks! Don't overdo it! :-)

I'm not for sure if you have a recliner or a chase lounger. That is what I'm sleeping on at home, cause my doctor said if you lay flat in bed pain can get worse.

Yes!!! I had surgery on the 1st and it took 2 days to want to even drink any liquids because of the way it made me feel. I'm still having a lot of gas pain. I bought gas x strips. I'm not sure if they are working. I think walking might help the gas a little. I'm trying to be patient. I'm sure it will go away in time.

      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.
