Guys! I'm 10 days post op. I've been wearing a binder to the extent where it fits comfortably. I'm home alone with my two-year-old and my husband is out with my oldest girls. I was freezing so today was the first time I bent over to put my socks. I got the worst pain ever in the chest area. But it was not my chest it was my stomach.I ate a Fudgsicle about an hour ago. I have not had any thing to drink. Got up and walked around and that pain that made me feel nauseated and gave me a cold sweat and clammy hands is gone now. It really freaked me out. Imagining the worst keeling over with my 2 year old in the house. I burped a couple burps and that pain has subsided. Has anyone experienced this? Was it trapped gas that I burped up or was it a cramp from bending over to put my socks on..

I did not like that feeling at all.. help!

It could have been a combination of things. Someone in my support group said that if she drinks and then bends over, the liquid pours right back out.

I tend to get those pains when I've eaten too much or too fast.

Maybe bending over so soon after eating pushed it back up into the uncomfortable zone and it took a few burps to get things settled again.

Dumping is if you had Rny.. The pressure on your stomach bending over with the band on sounds more like it to me.

      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.
