April 1st Sleevers! Tomorrow is our Day!



Recommended Posts

My surgery went well. Found a pretty sizable hiatal hernia while he was in there so repaired it as well. Lots of gas pain when I first got out of surgery, but it has since subsided. I walked as soon as I was able, and I do believe it has helped relieve the gas. I am not hungry or thirsty, but will work on getting those fluids in so I can go home this evening and get a full night of sleep. Best wishes for a safe and quick recovery everyone!

What does the "gas pain" feel like? So I don't freak out and can recognize immediately that it's just gas pains...where are they felt?

For me the gas pain felt like heavy pressure between my rib cage above my stomach with sharp pain when I would breath. Not fun!!

SimplySharon for me, lots of rumblings in my abdomen and needing to burp alot. Sometimes gas does get trapped in your chest and it is extremely uncomfortable and can be very painful. I know it sounds gross, but pass gas often, burp frequently, and if allowed take GasX.

Wow! I love reading your stories, and so relieved you are all ok, done, and on the other side. My date is the 23rd, so the countdown app is running! I can tell you to the millisecond how far away (or close) my surgery is. I'll be checking on you all. I'll be happy when I'm not an outsider anymore!

Really sore and in a lot of pain. Can't seem to get my liquids down, including my pain meds! I pray this gets better and I don't end up regretting this decision.

      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.
