I have had a rough start to this. I've been having trouble controlling my pain since surgery on May 27th. I finally was able to stop taking the dilaudid the day before yesterday. I was starting to feel better. I have been feeling TERRIBLE all day today. I feel so nauseous (even though I've taken zofran, it improved but didn't go away). I feel light headed and kind of weak. My stomach feels like it's cramping, kind of like a clenching. I have been trying to drink all day. I tried having some puréed food at lunch cuz I thought maybe I was just hungry but it did not help at all. In fact I felt worse after eating. I just want to feel better! I feel so terrible! Any thoughts or tips? I just want it to stop ????

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time getting on track.

I would first suggest that you call your bariatric team, tell them everything that you just posted and let them guide you. They know you better than we do and have the expertise to do something about it.

Sometimes our pain meds can become our enemy. They can raise havoc with our bodies while helping us control our pain. Sometimes our body seems to go into slow motion--including digestion when we are on pain meds. They can also cause severe Constipation.< /p>

If you're concerned enough (rightfully so) to post here, PLEASE give your WL surgeon's office a call.

Post and let us know what they say and how you are feeling.

We care--really we do.

Feel better, friend. :)

Thank you everyone. They kept me overnight in the hospital. I'm still really nauseous even though they keep giving me zofran. The good news is my catscan was fine. They are doing a swallow study tomorrow. So I'll be here atleast another night. I'm hoping my nausea subsides soon because it's awful

      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.
