Sorry about your husband. My pain level was quite high for the first two days, then it eased off midway through the third. Getting the drain out helped a lot.

I didn't get a drain either. Today isn't too bad. Some gas pains. I had a hernia fix as well, but we knew going in. The doc said my hernia was much larger than shown on the EDG. He also said that I had one of the largest stomachs hes seen on a low bmi patient. It explains alot. Between having a huge stomach and the acid reflux hunger pains. Thats why I was always hungry.

Hello all!

Glad we made it through. I'm in pain too, and I'm hungry ???? I realy wanted to be one of those people who are never hungry for the first 9 months to a year.

My barium swallow before surgery showed a small hiatel hernia, but when I asked my docs resident doctor about it, she said my doctor doesn't do hernia repair. I hope the hernia is smalll, but maybe that explaines hunger pains.

I've drinken three little medicin cups of Water, and I will have broth snd Jello in a few minutes. Have you all eaten yet?

Also, no drain for me either.

You're not alone. I have bad pain too. I was on th Delodid pump that i pushed myself, until this afternoon. Then they changed me to Percocet every 4 hours, and tylenonl. Can they give you some Tylenol. I tried eating some broth and Jello and my stomach hurt, anf I felt sick, got bad hiccups, but didn't reallg feel full.

It's what's to be expected....We just had our surgeries yesterday. Little bu liytle it will get better. Praying for us all.

      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.
