That pain below your breast is 100% normal and yes it sucks. It will go away after a few weeks. I was on pureed foods as soon as I was discharged from the hospital. That was my surgeon though.

Please remember that we on this site cannot recommend anything other than speaking with your doctor and/or nutritionist when it comes to introducing anything new or anything sooner than what was recommended. If any poster tells you it's OK or not OK to move to pureed foods, they do not and should not give you direction on this question. Again..only your doctor/NUT should answer this question.

@@mouna, it's possible that the pain below your breast/rib cage is gas, especially if it's on the left side. If it is, it will pass. Try walking around, which often helps. In any case you will be wise to call your surgeon's office to discuss it.

Hi Kristen. The pain your in is probably gas moving around. It's horrible I know. Hot showers . Hot Water bottles help and taking paracetamol every 4 hours is a must for me. I'm actually 9 days post can wait to go onto mushy food in 5 days . They do the 2 weeks fluids to give your body time to heal after the opp hope this helps good luck

      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.
