So I am like 10 months out from my surgery and stopped losing weight a while ago (lost a total of 57 lbs) and most of the time everything is fine. Every once and a while (every 2-3 weeks) I get this excrutiating pain around my pouch area. Sometimes it lasts only like 10 minutes and goes away and other times it lasts for like 2-3 hours and I'm screaming and sweating. Anyone else ever have this? I'm thinking it probably has something to do with Constipation and/or foods I eat (like potatoes).

Did you have sleeve or RNY? You posted in the sleeve area, but are saying pouch, which is what RNY people have, not sleeve people. So I am not sure. In any event, I don't think what you are describing is normal, but I am not a medical professional. I would suggest checking in with your surgeon and/or your PCP. My guess is one of the first questions that needs to be settled is whether this could be gall bladder attacks (assuming you still have your gall bladder). But definitely see a doctor, you should not be screaming in pain, that is quite alarming. Check back and let us know how you are doing.

Sorry yeah i had a sleeve, I've heard others call it a pouch more just because I feel like I have a tiny stomach so that's what I call it. Yeah, I do need to call my dr, haven't seen them in a while.

I did some more research and my gut (no pun intended) is telling me it's the plylorous and food is getting stuck there for a while or something along those lines. I'll call my dr.

      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.
