Day 3 and still in pain...



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on July 1st and I am still feeling the pain. I had a hernia repair as well and that could be where most of the pain is coming from. I get nauseous when I drink my Protein Drinks but I feel hungry. I've even tried drinking at room temp but it doesn't make a difference. I am drinking lots of Water but I feel that I need to get my strength up. Please help!

I saw someone on YouTube suggest G2. She said that afterwards she just kept feeling nauseated until she did that, she felt like she needed something... Of course I can't offer you medical advice! What about reflux? Could that be the culprit? I'd be taking some meds, I hate being nauseated!

I am having the same issues. I was also sleeved on July 1st. No hernia repair. But I feel severe pain and nausea. I've considered going back to the hospital. I'm going to try isagenix today and see if I can keep it down. Let me know what works for you

Are you taking meds for pain, nausea, and a PPI? Getting your meds right can be trial and error post op, but it really helps. Don't try to be a hero and stop taking meds for things like pain and nausea.

Not sure what you are allowed to drink, but for me, G2, Powerade Zero, and light fruit juice were easier to get down than plain Water. Also low sodium V8 was great, gave me energy, and was a nice change from sweet stuff. Unjury chicken Soup Protein was a godsend for me because especially early on, the sweet Protein Shakes were just too thick and I had trouble with them. Finally, if you are using Protein Powder, try using half the amount of protein powder but mixing them with Fair Life milk or Carb Master milk. You might find them easier to get down and less nausea-inducing that way. Good luck!

      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.
