Uuugh Dr. said I have to stay one more night. UGI went well but I had pain and nausea when I began my liquids, I've been walking but it doesn't seem to help. So another night it is.

Your in good hands! Let them take care of you :)

I'm glad you test went well!

I am sorry to hear that your feeling bad. But better to spend an extra night then to have to return worse

Hi

Had surgery yesterday. As of now' date=' the only discomfort I'm having is chest pain. Could be gas or catheter tube that was just removed.

I did walk a little last night, believe me it's not easy. I felt like someone had beaten me all over! lol

Slept like a baby due to morphine but as if today no more pain meds uuugh!

I am now waiting for UGI test.[/quote']

Is there a reason they took you off pain meds? Just wondering cause I have surgery in a week. I am a wussy when it comes to pain.

Hope everything is going well for you :)

Has anyone heard from our March go getters let?

Hi all, march 5th surgery day and have to say I'm miserable. I have so much pain I don't know what to do. I'm getting better at getting up and walking around but an hour before its time for my meds I'm in tears. I never thought of myself as a wuss but then again have never had surgery. They changed my meds from Diluted--im probably spelling that wrong to codine and its not working and where as good. Ugh!

I can't seem to get to sleep, prob this dumb cathader (so uncomfortable), i have zero pain. I'm just short of breath which is normal for just having surgery, but my oxygen is at 100%. I walked earlier and again the only discomfort i had was from the cathader.

Oh I am so sorry you are in pain. I hope your recovery starts to get better soon. As far as being a wuss, I will be right in your spot soon. I am super wussy!

Surgery march 5...today is discharge day (hopefully!) just had my dye test everything looks good. Drinking apple juice and changed into real clothes...feel like a rock star compared to 2 days ago! Still painful to get up and down and tightness when I walk but not much pain anymore. Waiting for drain to be pulled, so not looking forward to that from what many of you have said!

      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.
