I had GBS on June 12, 2013. I've been doing great, no problems at all. We are visiting relatives out of state this holiday and for dinner I had a 1/2 a small baked potato with some regular sourcream on it and some squash casserole that probably wasn't low fat. That was 5 hours ago and I am in so much pain I am starting to think I need to go to the emergency room. I have taken 2 percocet and it still hasnt let up. Could fatty food make me feel this awful? I was doing fine all day until after dinner. I thought if it was the food the pain would have subsided by now. Could a ulcer hurt this bad? or even gallbladder? all of that was fine during my GBS. Any input would be appreciated.

Yes fatty foods can make you hurt like that you could get some Papaya Enzimes they really help when you eat something that doesn't set good on your stomach there in the Vitamin section

The same thing happened to me... I fing myself so focused on sugar I forget about the fat content in regular food (not fried) I had to leave the party in a hurry the pain was so horrible. I'm learning as I go, but I hate when things like that happen. I felt better last night I didn't eat anything else I drank 4 glasses of Water (trying to wash it away) and I was ok

Hope u get better really soon!

Yes that happened to me. Take some pepto! It will go away. It's probably extreme gas pains.

Three weeks out is probably a little early for solid foods. Has your doctor cleared you for solids?

She cleared me for solids at my two week post-op. I think I'm going to go back to soft foods only for awhile.

      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.
