You are not alone! My left side pain is still pretty bad. I sneezed yesterday and started crying! I feel like I would be way more active if I didn't have to hold my side all day! I know it takes time' date=' but it is somewhat frustrating at this point! I have also tried gas x and Miralax thinking that maybe it was my bowel that was causing the pain, but no dice! Hope you feel better soon, but just know that you are not alone![/quote']

This sounds bad to say but im kinda glad to hear im not alone :( i just tried gas x chewables lets see if that works ...i have to get better my husband goes back to work in Saturday and i have a 2 yr old to take care of and have to be able to get through the day without pain pills

Is it the whey isolate that we need? I've yet to find pure whey isolate at Walmart?

Yes it is and Wal-Mart carry it in some 3 tubes. The only thing is the thickness of the Fluid. I have never had cum in my mouth but I've seen it and I think it's an equal to swallowing. Just the way it looks and the gooiness of it

Finally home and on the losers side. Surgery was Tuesday,everything has gone really well. I expected to be in more pain, but this pales in comparison to the 3 c-sections that I've had. Did anyone else have to be on insulin post-surgery? Glad to be home!

Yeah. My surgery was on the eighth. I'm concerned I'm eating too much and too quickly. I'm not hungry but I know I need to eat and I'm not feeling full either unless I eat what seems like too much.

      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.
