Every now and then I will get a sharp pain in my upper abdomen. Anyone else had this and if so did you find out what it was. It doesn't happen when eating for drinking. It woke me up last night doing it.

When was your surgery? I had gas pains like that in the hospital and for a few days after coming home. They only lasted a few seconds each, but were super annoying and slightly scary.

Errrrrr. How far out are you? I had this and it was gallbladder stones.

I had surgery on 04/13. In 4 weeks out today. This doesn't feel like gas.

Could be your diaphragm spasming. That happened to me for the first month post-op. Thought it was my stomach, but turned out it wasn't.

I'm 4 weeks today. I don't have a gallbladder. Had it removed in 2010. This doesn't feel like that either. It's sharp pains that come in waves and lasted 5 to 10 minutes. I can't wait to feel normal again and not freak over every twinge I get.

I am guessing then gas pain. Have you talked to your surgeon?

I had pain like this- my gallbladder and an ulcer. Took awhile to heal the ulcer. But only your doctor can tell you.

Yup, that was exactly what I had.

No I haven't called her. It hasn't done it since I've been up today.

      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.
