2 days post op question



Recommended Posts

Hi..I had my surgery on Wednesday and all is well but I have a question, the chest pain and that painful feeling in my throat when I feel like I have to burp but nothing comes out is that all gasses?

If so, will it get better? I'm walking a lot but it happens overnight too.

Hi congrats on you're new beginning! Yes it will get better. I'm 4 days post op and it's barely going away/less frequent. Keep walking and yes but gas x strips those help so much.

the pains you are having are from gas but some of them are from the gas the doctor puts in your abdomen to enlarge his viewing area. gasx will not help this. heating pad to the painful area and walking helps. be sure to be sipping your liquids. your pouch only holds 4 to 6 oz of substance.

Congrats on your surgery and ask someone to do karate chops on your neck and shoulders a few times a day.

      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.
