question 6 days post op



Recommended Posts

Did anyone have gas right in the middle of their chest that they felt occasionally throughout the day? If I get to big of sip or if I drink to fast this also causes pain in the middle of my chest.

you really need to take smaller sips and then swallow slowly to help with this for now. you will be able to drink faster later on but for now..Be kind to yourself and listen to your body! :)

Hi! I'm 5 days post op and yes, if I accidentally drink too much in one sip, I get gas and a weird feeling. I have to remind myself to sip slow and easy!!!

Good luck!!!

Yes that gas was bad thats the only pain I have gotten. It hurt the chest but it's going away.

Gas x strips that I bought are peppermint and oh my word it is hard to let that dissolve in my mouth instead of spitting it out. Lol

      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.
