I am 6 days out and having severe pain on the top of my belly in the middle, just under my boobs, almost in between them. Is anyone else experiencing or has experienced this pain? Is it just gas? It is unbearable at times.

Severe pain is not normal. Call your doctor.

My left arm stabbing pains started 9 days out and have now vanished 12 days out. It was weird. I have changed the way I'm sleeping, on a wedge pillow. Some say it's still CO2 at your stage.

Info 127, I believe, based on what I have read and learned, that maybe you should contact your doctor. Just to be safe. Don't want an infection to begin. Will be thinking about you.

Everyone here can guess. I would guess still CO2. But that won't help you if it's something serious, like a blood clot. Call your Dr asap. Always better to have a Dr tell you "you're fine," instead of, "you should have called 3 days ago!"

Call the Dr. right away!

      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.
