I'm eight days post op, came home last Thursday night... Felt great Friday, Saturday, had a little bit of a hiccup Sunday night in the following way: sitting at my kitchen table sipping a glass of Water. I notice it goes down really really ready so I keep drinking because I happen to be ready at the moment, and I proceed to drink four glasses in less than 45 minutes... As I got up to go sit on my couch, I get this sharp stabbing pain in my abdomen. I can't inhale all the way out exhale ask the way out... Basically I can't move without extreme pain... The rest of my body feels AMAZING, but I'm in a lot of pain right now... Does anyone else have an experience similar to this??. I'd love to get some feedback...

I am a week out and today felt some increased pain after an 8oz drink...it lasted about 10 mins...I think these are the pains associated with over "eating". Hope your's goes away soon, if not, you can always callMD.

that was the other thing... when i was drinking, i had no dumping, vomiting, nausea... when i was full i stooped... I'm thinking it might be muscle strain somehow, or maybe gas... dunno though

It sounds like you just overfilled your stomach. If the pain does not subside in half an hour then go to the ER to get checked out. Even though it feels like you can take on more, it takes time for the liquid to travel to your stomach. You need to be very careful to drink the recommended amounts regularly.

With all that said, you are not alone. Everyone has done it. If they say they haven't they are lying. It is all a part of the growing and learning process. You are discovering your new body and it will take time to figure out what it can and can not do. I still to this day, almost a year out from surgery, occassionally eat too much and pay the price. For the first several weeks after surgery I used a 1 oz. shot glass with Water and made it a point to drink a shot every 8 min. except for meals. This helped me get the Water intake I needed in a day without stretching out the stomach or causing it to hurt like that.

I hope this helps a little and that you feel better soon.

I am 8 days post-op today, I am still sip sip sipping as my dietician calls it. I feel really good, but can't imagine drinking 3 glasses of anything in 45 minutes. Take it easy and wait a few seconds in between sips to see if you have any pain. If so, stop for awhile until the pain goes away. Good Luck!

Hi aelovelady! I had doctor Fitzer too. I'm 8 months out and doing great. Glad to hear that you are feeling good so far!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
