wishing you the best. Hope if it is a stricture you can get treated very soon. The Holidays make it harder to get into Doc ect.

thanks I just don't know what it is. I am in pain even when not eating and drinking!! I moved my bedroom furniture around yesterday and been having a different pain in left side under my rib cage that is unrelated to the eating and drinking issue.

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I had surgery on the 11th, had been fine and started with horrible pain and vomiting on the 20th. Been hospitalized since. They found the block, but plan to wait 5 more days of nothing by mouth before considering dilation. I guess dr knows best, but I'm quite sick of being in the hospital, especially since as long as I don't eat I feel fine. Hope you have a quick recovery. Thanks.

      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.
