How much pain is too much? I've used all my pain meds (as ordered) and not excessively. But I'm Hurting so bad I can't breathe sometimes. I'm constantly bent over in pain. Is this normal ?? It comes and goes.

Also, I had gastric bypass march 3. So far I have lost 22 lbs. 286 to 262.

That sounds like too much pain. Call your doctor only he can determine how serious that is. it could be something as simple as gas that happens quite a lot but still better be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon

Severe pain always means call your doctor. No exceptions. The cause may very well not be serious, but pain itself is always a concern. Call your doctor.

Call doc!! It is what you are paying them for. Even if there is nothing wrong you made need stronger pain meds!

Everyones pain tolerance is different. I had quite a bit until about three weeks post op, while others in my group had none. I even have a high tolerance! Call the surgeon and get relief. Nothing to be ashamed of!

      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.
