I have a major pain on left side below rib cage. I had my surgery December 11th and its the only pain I have left. It husts to breath in deep or to lay still very long. Any body got any ideas. From my six holes and one inch and a half hole only the three holes on left below ribs are the ones that are sore and have bruising around them.

It took awhile for that area to not be painful, couldn't even really lay on that side for about 3 to 4 weeks without it hurting a bit. Even deep breaths hurt..lungs pushing on your sore stomach, even though it dont look to bad on the outside major trauma was done on the inside....that being said should the pain be unbearable contact your doctor!

The liquid part is the worst but I left the hospital after 3 days on soft foods. I suppose it depends on your doctor! Good luck!

      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.
