I had my surgery on the 16th. I've been taking short walks... my doctor used the 4,5,6... walk 4-5 times for 6 minutes each time.

I have had that shooting pain on my left side too.

Last night I took a Gasx, and in the middle of the night I 'released' plenty of that gas HAHAHA...it actually woke me up, and I was impressed with the amount that 'left' :o

I keep trying to concentrate on the fact that I am able to hold liquids down, drink my little 4oz Protein shakes, and haven't opened the bottle for nausea. I figure the pain in my stomach, mostly on my left side, will heal.

Hang in there!

I hope you're feeling better today! I think I overdid it earlier today, and the existing pain in my left side radiated through to my back. I took a pain pill, put my heating pad behind me on the recliner, and took a nap. It felt much better when I woke up :)

This part is tough, but honestly it's just our bodies healing, and trying to get rid of that gas they blow us up with...

As long as you are drinking and getting your Protein in, then you know you're doing a great job (of course, if any pain lasts too long, you should definitely call the doc)

Just get some pain killers for the first couple days after surgery, after 5-6 days, your body will tell you that you don't need anymore and from that time onwards, everything will goes fine. Just a matter of time.

      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.
