Hi there,

I'm really sorry you're having a hard time. I Would say the punching pain could be because your pouch might be a bit inflamed from the vomiting. I would demand to see a surgeon. A barium swallow may be in your future (I had one early out too because of some issues you mention), they might look at the structure of the pouch, the stoma, ect. I doubt you'd have a stricture at this point- youre too early out. That usually happens around month three if it does happen, but it is possible you could be starting with one... I understand the frustration with food stages. I was moved back to the puree stage THREE times before I could move onto the soft food phase; it sucked. My pouch kept getting severely irritated and they took me off all Vitamins for a week.

Did they prescribe prilosec or some other antacid? That nay help a lot.

      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.
