Sorry if I'm being a pest' date=' 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![/quote']

Are those new items you're consuming? Is the coffee Decaf?

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' date=' 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!![/quote']

That's great. It's good to hear that you're doing much better. I still have some ache every now and the on the incision point by the belly button. Of course, low rider pants don't help. I always wear my Spanx tank underneath my shirt, tucked in to help prevent rubbing against it.

Today I completed day 2 of the C25K app. If you don't know what that is, an app that trains non runners in 8 weeks to be able to run a 5k. I had my iPod app on and walked (mostly at 3.4 mph) and ran (a little at 4.4mph) over 12,335 steps :-) first time ever going over 8,000. I have the striiv play and its app on my iPhone and iPod. It has challenges to beat such as walk 50 steps in 1 minute. I absolutely love it. I beat all the challenges it gave me today except I lost one of them :-( it was a tough one though. I did all of that using my iPod. When I went to sync it, I lost my steps, all 12,000+ down the drain. I was so ticked off. It was because my iPod isn't the newer one and wouldn't sync to my pedometer or to MyFitnessPal :-( So I had to start over w the pedometer and ended up getting another or only 484 steps. I was so bummed, disappointing. Good work out though. I recommend the striiv. The challenges are great, fun and healthy:-)

I have the striiv app also. I love it. It keeps me walking one challenge at a time and I'm always trying to beat a goal or time or something. 12,000 steps is awesome! I think my highest is in the 8,000 range still.

My email is one4ozzie@hotmail if you'd like to add me as a friend :-) if anyone else has the striiv, feel free to add me :-)

I logged a lot of treadmill time at the gym :-) I just played challenge after challenge. Then it stopped giving me challenges :-( I was bummed when I saw that.

Yeah, they're all new and the coffee is 1/2 caff or regular sometimes if I'm desperate! I'm bad, I know!! You think the coffee is doing it? I just am kinda freaked out! Lol. Keep wondering if everything's ok in there!

How many weeks post op are you? My Dr recommended no caffeine' date=' coffee for at least three months and limited at that. Hope u feel better soon.[/quote']

Yikes! I'm only about 4 weeks out, but damn I love my coffee. I'm just gonna have to switch to straight Decaf and see if the pain goes away. I actually think I'll just eliminate things one by one and see what happens. And thank you! I hope I feel better soon too cause I get grouchy when my tummy hurts! Lol.

      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.
