Blah, has anyone felt full and bloated for HOURS after eating? I'm worried something is stuck but Water is going down. I don't know. What do we do for that?

So my gas pain was only bad in recovery. I'm doing good. Got up and walked a long hall, but feel so much better. Did my blue dye test. Still no ice chips until My swallow test is completed in the morning. But i feel great right now. :)

Good luck on your discharge!

I am at 9 days out of surgery and I haven't really wanted to eat at all. On full liquid diet and Protein shakes and I am eating on a schedule to help make sure I am getting all Water, Protein, and food. If I waited to be stomach hungry I probably wouldn't have eaten yet. Just make sure to sip everything and eat slowly. :)

To Skynymeby47- I have not experienced the same feeling but I would try posts on the Feb and March post-op groups since there are so many more of them. Good luck. Keep up with small sips and the Gas-X.

I totally understand. I could only get a SF Popsicle while in the hospital. Now that I'm home I wat by the clock. I'm relying on Isopure Protein drinks. They are fruity & I can tolerate them. I absolutely HATE the liquid pain med but I can't go without it. I hold my nose while I swallow & I quickly put a small piece of ice to keep from getting sick. Stay encouraged.

Yeah I get a lot of burps when I eat and I'm passing gas way more than I used to. My intestines feel full of air most of the time. I do take the maximum GasX I can, who knows how bad it would be without it! OMG that liquid lortab is retched! I'm not taking it every 4 hours, maybe every 6 to 8.

      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.
