2 sleeps to go. The surgical nurse yesterday said that they squeeze out all the gas they can, and just a little bit thats left bubbles up to the shoulder... is that the gas pain you guys are talking about? or do they not squeeze your gas out over there?

i do remember after a c section awful pain in the shoulder and they said it was from the gas, I don't know if they squeeze any out or not, but to this day and that was about 34 years ago i remember that shoulder pain.

Yes! Take as much time as you need don't rush it. We all heal different. I keep thinking why I still feel like crap and others are back to work. I had complications so I can't compare. We need to take the time to heal and adjust.

The gas pain is unreal. Period...

Surgery was suppose to be tomorrow but just found out they are going to postpone it till December 5th due to me having a very bad cough with chest congestion..kind of bummed but better to go in healthy...ouch I can imagine how much that would hurt to cough so hard..best wishes to all that will be having surgery tomorrow

Jessica, that's probably for the best. Now you can concentrate on curing the cough.

      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.
