Headed home. I have only had very little pain, but gas bubbles are the worst. Can't wait for the rest to work its way out.

Hey all I am on the other side! First 2 days the gas pains sucked....now I am home and feeling a bit better. The only thing is the big incision on the right side hurts pretty bad. I have been holding a pillow against it and it helps. Anyone else having that pain? How long foes it last?

Mroth28 try a heading pad for the pain. After the lap band and now the sleeve my heating pad is my best friend. Helps with pain and with gas pain. Gas should be fine in a couple more days. Walking and heat really helps.

Hang in there everyone we will make it through.

The same incision on me hurts. I don't really have pain from my other incisions. The pillow tip definitely kept me comfortable in the hospital.

I bought the míralox chewables. Works good. They didn't have the strips at the target close to my hotel. Gas pains ate killing me.

      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.
