I found to get some gas up was to put my arms on the table and lean my head between them trying to open up your throat air ways. After awhile I would burp... Also eat as slow as possible and only like half or Quarter of a teaspoon at a time.. Good Luck !!

Hi to you all! I had my surgery yesterday. Day of surgery was pretty rough. I'm a cheap date and don't tolerate very much pain medicine. I don't remember much from yesterday except walking in the hall with my eyes closed!! Lol

Today is much better. Passed the barium swallow and am sipping on Water and Protein punch, Soups. Up walking every two hours. My only real pain from my drain site and my throat is sore from the tubes. I'm using liquid pain medicine. Expect to be discharged tomorrow!

Sleeved 8.26.15. Still in the hospital. Just got taken off my pain pump. Have been having trouble voiding. Working on keeping fluids down if I can then i might get sent home this afternoon.. I've been moving around and try to do everything on my own. Good thing is I'm not really hungry. Just dry mouth.

My surgery was Wednesday also. I'm doing great. Barely no pain. Burping frequently to get rid of the gas and just a bit of nausea now and again. The medicine does help. Incisions hurt when I turn a certain way so...I don't turn that way. Do lots of deep breathing to get that oxygen so you won't get dizzy walking... How are you doing?

      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.
