Uhhh!! If I smelled pizza...I might spontaneously combust! Lol. No, but honestly I ate 2 bites of cottage cheese the other day too fast and it was sooo painful!! Then I threw up, well, just wretched and spit (tmi and gross, I know) about 10 times and so other people's food is not appealing to me at all since that happened! I'm terrified it will happen again! :( But once I get over the fear...who knows?

Also, I know someone mentioned this before but way did you guys say the pain under the left rib cage was from? I have been having it on and off since yesterday. Also, last night I had some chest pain and I'm pretty sure it was gas cause I had that full feeling, you know? Just wondering what you all found out or if any of you experienced this.

I had wondered if they work. Let me tell you though about the lift. I can't wait to have it done. I've finished having children so that is #1 or 2 on the list of needed.

On a little darker note' date=' yesterday I was referred to a GYN oncologist. Been diagnosed w complex hyperplasia atipia. So complete hysterectomy for me in a month or two. I'm 40 I would have loved a second child but it never happened for me. My daughter is a Jr in HS, so I think I need to get my precancerous organs out of me. After the hysterectomy they take cross sections of the uterus to make sure there isn't cancer in other areas of the uterus. Anyone else on here have this, or a close family member?

I had surgery on the 14th and today is 4 weeks and finally getting over my nausea! Wow who knew it would be that bad! I've lost 23 lbs and not eating much at all but find that I'm being constipated. Ugh! This has been the best day so far :)

Sorry if I'm being a pest, but has anyone experienced crampy pain all over their abdomen? I have it tonight along with some gas (belching) and it's starting to worry me. Could coffee be doing it? Or tuna and lite mayo? Help!

Hey everyone! I am 11 days post-op today and it was the first day that I really started to feel like myself again :) Most of my pain has been gone for awhile, but I have had a couple lingering tender/sore spots that have been giving me trouble. Today I was actually able to walk around almost pain free, and even took myself on a trip to Barnes and Noble! Im so excited, I just felt I had to share with people that understood what I was going through. Hope everyone is doing well!!

      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.
