my instructions were to call the doctor if a serious pain persisted for more than 4 hours. i would recommend calling your surgeon to ask. always better safe than sorry! i hope you feel better soon!!! please keep us posted.

Carissa,

Have you called your physician, at this point? Hopefully, you are feeling better. Maybe you felt crappy because of something you ate today. It takes a while to pass.

Take it easy on your new tummy. Sounds like you are doing good over all. Remember we had the same date 7/30!!

Carissa - the nurse in me wants to know how you are feeling otherwise? Temp? Vomiting? Bowel movements? Are you still taking pain meds? Have you gotten your proteins/ Water? I know I wasn't getting my water and I had headache and was very tired- my husband kept reminding me that's why I'm home RECOVERING - but new pain that Last longer than a few hours and doesn't Go away is something I would probably let The md know about - :)

      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.
