Today is my 3rd day after surgery and Im still feeling the gas. My dr and nurse said not to take anything for it because it wont help, only time will. I cant get anything down. I just cant wait for this part to be over with and feeling better and able to hold down liquids.< /p>

I've always heard, in general, the third day after any surgery is generally the hardest. Not sure why and I'm sure it's not true for everyone. But hopefully it's smooth sailing from here and you start feeling lots better. (Surgery 11/25)

Yeah the Dr nurses mentioned something about that. I think it could be because now im not on meds from the hospital or getting a IV anymore. Thank you though for your thoughts!

I used gas x strips and they worked within about a half hour. Also, I slept with a heating pad on my belly the first two nights home. Took all the swelling down. The nurses in the hospital started the heat thing before I was even awake.

Congrats!

      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.
