OK I know pain/discomfort is expected. My gas pains are gone and I am greatful but I get sharp pains almost every time I drink anything at any temperature. Even with the tiniest sips. Its day 5 for me. Anyone else have this? When does it stop, I'm in agony.

Sounds like you should call the doc.

If it's pain in your chest that was pretty normal for me until about the second week as well as pain in my left ribcage.

I haven't had that problem. I'd probably call my dr office just to ease my mind.

He should have an answering service that pages him. I'd call it if the pain is truly bad

I called the doctor and informed the nurse of what was happening. She called the doc and called me back and said "pain is to be expected, call if it gets worse". Holy heck if it gets worse I'd pass out. Oh well, I will have to try to endure it and go to the er if its gets to bad. Thanks for the feedback :)

      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.
