Sorry to hear you are suffering with this. I am not an expert but I assume its gas, are you walking lots? Walking helps get rid of the gas.

If its not the gas but from the actual surgery itself, were you not given pain killers?

Thank you so much for reply. I got home late and haven’t gotten my prescription from the pharmacy. My husband just went to pick them up. Soon I get it I will get dressed and go walk.

Walk a lot - gas pain is brutal.

Peppermint Decaf tea and massaging stomach and back helps too.

For me cold Water hurt my chest so the tea helps there too

Feel better!

󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" userid="342591"]Goodmorning I had my sleeve done June 29th. I am home now but the pain is so unbearable sometimes i feel I want to cry and scream. Anyone else have pain like that ? Or is something wrong?
It sounds like gas. If you walk it should get better.

I definitely didn't have pain like yours, but I found ice packs across my incisions and abdomen to help A LOT in the first week

I had pretty bad pain, I cried and yelped when I got in and out of bed or when I got up off the couch, which I couldn't sit on because i was uncomfortable for so long. In reality it was just a few days, but I walked a lot and it wasn't just gas. It got better, I stopped taking the meds and kept shuffling around. The first few days were rough for me though.

      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.
