i agree. Last night I ate wonton broth with the one inside, no wrapper. Felt great for like 3 hrs

i think my stomach wants food that will not digest in 2 secon

i think we underestimate how long it take for food to digest.

We never saw Naseau cause we would eat things that would take awhile to digest.

cant wait to see doc Tuesday

so I can go back to trying real food

I felt the same way early on and wanted to die from the nausea. Found out it was all related to my pain killers which when I discontinued them I found out I didn’t have any pain. Was taking them because I was afraid of having pain. It was a lot easier after that.

This only an educated guess, you are still very swollen inside. Let's examine two good reasons
1. While you were asleep,you had an endo -tracheal in place to help you breathe. Don't worry, every Man- Jack of us did or will have one. It goes with the territory, this is not the type you sit upright in a dental chair for! No matter how gentle a surgeon or an anesthesiologist is, and most of them have done it so often they are smooth as silk with it, there can be a little scraping going in or coming out. Its okay, it will heal, when you have your tonsils out, they give ice cream, we bariatric,patients get cheated,we have to,make do with sugar free popsicles.
2. Your stomach is also swollen, doesn't matter whether,you now have a banananrama sleeve or a kangaroo pouch, you fall heir to swelling. While,you are healing,in other ways, your poor stomach is saying WTF,did YOU do to,little ME? And it shows its displeasure by being red and swollen inside. That too will heal, and like every surgical patient, there will be pain. What pain is worse? Good question, but every one of them hurts, I have had abdominal, facial , arm and leg incisions and healed well from them all. But not a single one of them made me want to,go dance through the daffodils. You are early days yet, give yourself permission to heal.
Remember:
Every Day and in Every day,You are going,to,get better and better. Usually my 3 and 4 days were the worst but we all vary. A very good friend was Day#2 , anotherwas fine until day 7 when she wanted to find her surgeon and turn him into a steer. if you get,my drift. Lucky for him he went,on holiday in either the Bahamas or Barbados where Bajan Sleeve lives. But my friend had fire in her eyes and malice in her ❤toward him.
Darling, check it,out with your own doctor,when you see him, but I am virtually certain you will be just fine!😛

Hello, new on here. Surgery date is 8-22-18. I’ve been waiting a loooong time to get this done and know it’s not going to be easy. I’m psyched for the long haul. Down the road I will be glad and the initial pain etc will be behind me.
I am a food addict. Comments on how you are handling that anyone who is like me?

Thank you, will try. I think I’m just bummed because my two friends that had it didn’t have this much pain, I’ve been in pain all week.

Let’s hope that all it is. Cause I’m set on the fact that this isn’t normal and something must be wrong. Thank you for the encouragement!

Purple Girl, sorry you are feeling so bad. The mint oil will help also if you rub a little on your abdomen just not on your surgery sites. You are probably stressed out to try some lavender oil on your wrist and behind your ears it helps relax you. You can also mix 4 or5 drops in a spray bottle (6 to 8 oz water) and spray it on your pillows before bed.
Feel better soon

This is not a great idea when someone is already suffering from hives.

I am so confused, have you had the surgery or not yet? Is your story somewhere I can read?

Are you asking me or Frustr8? Frust8 was replying to me regarding my post about having surgery a week ago. I don't believe Frust8 has had surgery yet.

      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.
