Hi all! Now, I already have contacted the nurses about this, but it is early so idk when I will.hear back from them. But here's the problem

Earlier this week I had a bit of a cold. I took some nyquil and it went away. Then on Tuesday I was cleared for the stage 4 diet. (Yay) and all was well. Then fast forward to Thursday morning and I woke up with reallt bad jaw pain. It got worse through the day. My head also started pounding, like a mirgiane. My ears feel hot. And I have like a metallic taste in my mouth as well. My mother thinks the jaw pain could be from chewing again after a month not being able to, which I can see, but I don't understand why basically my whole face hurts too then.

Did anyone else have jaw pain when they moved onto soft foods? I think i just might be getting sick and its a combination of that and eating again. Please let me know.

I am also a month post opt. I moved through the stages a bit quicker then most do, my stomach has handled everything fine though. I also have been taking my Vitamins and all. I just don't know what's gojng on and I'd like to see if anyone else experienced the same problems. Thanks!

Tooth, ear ache or sinus problems. I would agree with your assessment you may be getting a cold; however, wait for the nurse to call you back. Clearly, anything we provide is going to be speculative.

      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.
