So I am 3 days out and am trying my hardest to get my Fluid in (cant even think about Protein yet). I can only seem to keep my Water down if i drink it while walking. If I am standing or am siting while drinking the pain of it moving into my tummy is almost unbearable and the nausea comes on full force. Does this end, will i be able to sit and sip soon?

I know i still have a lot of gas roaming around inside me still and my upper back is killing me. Is the gas causing the drinking issue too?

Anyone have any suggestions about helping with back pain as well?

Tmi time....but boy i would love to have a nice big toot[emoji20]

Just walk. That is the only way you are going to get relief from the gas pain. It isn't normal gas, it is the gas they use to raise your organs to make surgery easier. Just walk.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Not everyone does. If walking is the way to get in your Water, then walk away! Please consult your surgical team too. Good luck!

I also found it easier to sip as I walked. Within a couple more days it will get better. Congrats on the surgery!

Try varying the temperature of what you are drinking. Sometimes, I needed room temperature. Sometimes ice cold. Often within hours of each other. You've got this.

      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.
