Hope yo fell better! Call your surgeon if you have any doubts! I am 3 1/2. weeks out and it got a lot better for me! The pain meds didn't agree with my stomach either. I used zofran for nausea. It helped a lot.

Has anyone thought to take half a dose then a couple of hours later take the other half. My daughter is on a lot of pain meds and that is what she has to do occasionally in order not to vomit them back up.

If you just had your surgery on Monday then you could still be swollen and that could be causing you to get stuck with your pills, I know I had to either crush or have liquid for my meds for first days after surgery if it continues def call your dr!!!

I was told we can't even try to take any pills til after 3 months.

It's probably that.

I think that maybe the way I tell I'm full. Felt better this morning, had some Protein and Water and this afternoon did not take any pills. Had some protein chicken Soup and there is that feeling again. Will try to keep track of this. Might be a good thing. Don't know yet. And I am not even taking half of a half of pain meds.

I had trouble taking pills at first. Now at six weeks it is better as long as I go slow and space it out. I was told that if your medication is time released you shouldn't crush it. It will get better I'm sure:)

      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.
