Everything went good. Just very sore. My back kills! Idk what they did to me.

Hang in there, maybe gas in some odd areas...I'm sure you've heard no less than 5,756 time but walk walk walk! Hope things improve today!

Have they done an upper GI/Barium Swallow to check for a leak or stricture? I'm so sorry you are having it so rough! Big hugs!

Yes my upper Gi looked good. Hopefully this burping and bloating will go away. Anybody else have this problem?

A few things I had in the hospital and I'm not sure what they are giving you but I had little nausea(one we figured paint meds out) and little issues with burping etc...I was on Simethicone(generic gas meds they wouldn't allow me to use the GasX strips everyone told me to bring) I was also on IV meds for my GERD(Protonix) and they had me on a Nausea patch behind my ear, when I was on the heavy pain meds the first day and super sick I was given IV meds to stop that but I forget the name, but it knocked me out cold lol! Maybe there is something they can give you to try to ease your symptoms...could it possibly be your pain meds?

The burping can also just be some of the gas that's trapped, are you up and walking a lot?

I'm out of the hospital now. Had a couple spoons of broth. I'm scared to swallow my pain meds so I'm trying to deal without. I just do not see how I will get all my Protein and Water in. I can only sip a little then stop. I also can't lay down. When I do it feels like everything is coming back up! Ugh I'm in the regret phase right now!

I am feeling better. Still bloated and my fluids gurgle as they go down but I'm getting used to it. Can't wait until all the air is out.

      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.
