Are you taking your pain meds regularly? I have no idea if I would have been in pain for the first 4 days or so because I took my pain meds every 4 hours on the dot whether I needed them or not. Where is your pain? Is it gas pains - they can take a few weeks to dissipate, walking helps.

You had a gastric bypass, I would call your drs office to see if the pain are experiencing is normal. I was told the first 2 weeks are when you need to watch out for a leak so I would call since you are only 4 days out. It might be perfectly normal but better safe than sorry.

Hi Yerrika,

Congrats on your sleeve, I was sleeved on August 27th and I can tell you that I was in the same boat, I had the worse pain at my incision points. I dealt with really bad nausea as well, are you one anti- nausea meds? Those helped me from vomiting things back up. I was in tons of pain and it just eased up a week ago.

I suggest that you keep walking around, I know it doesn't seem like it helps but it really does. Also, let your surgeon or the on call know that your pain meds won't stay down. It will definitely get better, best of luck to you

      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.
