Since the surgery on the 7th I have not been able to control the pain! I'm not sure I can handle this much longer. I take my oxycodone every 4 hours. When I take the meds I can get up and walk around. I can even sit at the table to eat. My pain on a good day is 7/10. I can't stand being over that. The on call tonight told me to take Tylenol. Or go to the er. It's our right as a patient to be made comfortable. Monday they are going to hear it from me. This pair is tearing me down.

You should not be in that much pain this long after your surgery....you should go to the ER. I'm wishing you the best and hope you feel better very soon.

I had my sleeve on the 7th and only needed pain meds the first 3 days, I have zero pain now and am back to work...that doesn't seem normal. Go to hospital to make sure everything is ok.

How long after surgery did you go back to work?

I also had surgery on the 7th. I am virtually pain free now. If I do too much my one larger incision hurts some. You should not still be in pain. Please go to the ER and get checked out. Good. luck..I hope you feel better soon.

      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.
