I'm about six x months post-op, and i have noticed lately some really bad cramping that i get at various times. It doesn't seem to have a pattern, and it feels like if you did a hard ab session and you try and stand up straight and it feels like your stomach is stretching. It seriously hurts on a scale of 1-10 at like an 8 or 9. I've asked my docs about it, and they said it doesn't sound like anything serious, just something post surgical that happens from time to time. I've been trying to figure out if it's a pattern, as in did i eat something that my body didn't like and i'm not recognizing it, or did i eat something too fast? Stuff like that. Does anyone know what i'm talking about? Also, the cramping happens over where I feel like my surgery took place... directly in the middle of my stomach, closer to my rib cage than the lower part of my abdomen, which is why I feel like it is surgery related... Thanks a lot.

I would suggest having that checked out Bigdog. I'm six months and the only cramping I have is a few muscle cramps after leaving the gym. It will make you feel better to check the box. Hopefully it's nothing..but if it's bothering you...get it checked out in case it is surgery related. Let us know what you find out.

      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.
