6 days out and stomach pain



Recommended Posts

Ugh! I think I had too much of my drink too fast! My stomach was feeling really bloated so I took GasEx and sat down hoping for the pain to pass...instead, I started to feel nauseas and headed into the bathroom to perch on the porcelain throne for a bit. At this point, I was praying to sweet Baby Jesus to please let me survive this experience so I could learn from it. Two trips to the bathroom later, I'm feeling a little better and I'm laying down to rest for a bit. Just wanted to share my experience so I could remind myself and other newly banded peeps the importance of sipping your drinks slowly. ;)

Yep. I'm 7 days postop. My stepmom made me some pureed squash Soup last night. I gobbled it down and ended up with a stomach ache for 4 hours. Fun!

Sorry you are not feeling well but a unfortunately, this is how we usually learn our lessons. Remember that as long as you eat and drink slowly from now on, you shouldn't have this discomfort. Feel better soon gals.

      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.
