So here’s a new for you or not. So as of today I’m 3 weeks post surgery and have steadied the course as far as diet is concerned. Haven’t touched the ice cream since and I’m good with it! But here’s my new or rather on-going dilemma. I’m still getting stomach pain from just about everything I put in my mouth. It could be Water, the Protein Shakes, the plain mashed potatoes I’ve been allowed to eat, soft steam veggies. Anything that goes in within seconds of hitting my gut, I get pain. Now it’s not horrific or debilitating at all and goes away after a few minutes but I’m wondering, is this how it’s going to be for the rest of my life? Takers anyone?

by the way, thanks again to all who responded to my previous post. I cut the sweets (well, all I’ve had is ice cream) out!!!

I had the same thing! It then progressed to throwing up everything...food first and then everything. I went on for further testing and had to have my gallbladder removed. Don’t wait, follow up and get some further testing if you need it. Good luck!

I also 3 weeks out and I was having the same thing. And then the other day, it just stopped. No more pain when I eat or drink. Can you call your surgeon and mention it?

      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.
