I'm down 18 pounds from my starting weight yay me! Pain only when I get in bed and that's from the large incision. The pain medicine is so nasty so I just take me a Tylenol and deal with it. I'm getting my my shakes in also. Awjones what phase have you moved to?

I'm still on full liquids til Friday at most. That's my 2wk post op visit. I'm hoping for soft foods then! I'm craving cabbage! lol

Anyone have any other tips for the gas pain? I've been walking around and sipping, just got home from the hospital today. I can burp but it seems I can't get the lower gas out yet.

If you just came home today, there's not a lot you can do other than walk and sip. You can get some Gas X but I'm not sure it will work for this type of gas. It might take a couple of days to get the lower gas to start coming out.

It took me a few days to not have that CO2 gas pain to not be the focus.

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench!

It took me about a full week. I took DulcoGas to help because I wasn't burping or anything.

Hi all!! I got my drain removed today!! That feels so much better!!!! I also got advanced to purée foods. I had a puréed scrambled egg for one meal and 2 TBP of puréed chicken for another. Pretty tasty and I tolerated each without problems. I don't advance to a soft diet for 2 weeks. I can drive now and don't see MD again til the end of the month. Off work until I get the final okay to go back at that appointment.

      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.
