Has anybody experienced a wave of squeezing discomfort in their stomach pouch that radiates to their back? I'm 4 weeks post Op sleeved and this week this symptom has popped up. I'm having trouble pin pointing what it could be. It does it when I'm not eating throughout the day. I'm so scared. I'm trying to hold off going to the ER. Could it be Gas? Or something ?

I'm not at liberty to give medical advice on what it could be or not but if you hadn't already put a call in to your surgeon I would encourage you to. I don't mess with pains that don't feel normal after having major surgery like this. thats me :/..one qustion..are you getting your fluids in throughout the day and Protein? thats all Im going to ask..

Do you still have a gall bladder? The radiating pain sounds like a gall bladder issue...but yes, put a call into your doctor as soon as you can if it continues.

Yes I still have my gallbladder. I'm calling my doc tomorrow morning. I just took 3 tums and it calmed down alot. Could it just be my acid reflux acting 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.
