Everything went well but damn these gas pains

How's everyone holding up

Oh the gas!! It has been really bad for me too. They won't allow the gas x strips either. And I won't get to have any Water or liquid in general until after 10 am tomorrow. But not to complain too much, this is what I wanted and the staff here is AMAZING.

Yes the gas pains are no joke. They wouldn't allow the gas strips. I've had some ice chips and completed two laps of walking in the hallway and been sitting in the recliner.

I agree! I would have been basically pain free if it wasnt for this gas!! Hopefully it will end for us soon!

Surgery itself went great with very little pain. I was extremely nauseous and threw up at least six times dice I got into my room. My nursing staff is phenomenal-I love them! Hope you're all doing well!!

I'm still in the hospital. My Dr says I'm not drinking enough but I'm not hungry & its hard to tell when I've had enough. The woman before me had 4 surgeries and she only stayed 1 night. I'm kinda a baby tho too! ????

      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.
