I've asked this before, but...

I have an ache in my stomach. It is not always constant. But, it comes and goes. It situated lower in my stomach. I had a burning pain and nausea before surgery and it was located below my sternum.

Could this be the same thing just lower, because they reshape the stomach with the sleeve?

I do not know how to describe it. Maybe it's a burning? I'm not sure. In any case it makes me feel ill for the moment.

Thank you for any input you may have.

Also, I see my PA in 6 weeks, so I definitely will bring it up. I was having ot before and discussed it with her at 2 months post-op and she said we may need to do a scope, which at this point I say YES!

Also, I'm almost 5 months post-op.

How intense is it? Is it sudden onset or always there? Either way, it's worth a note to your PA to ask the question and describe the symptom. Sorry for your struggle!

It feels a little more nauseating than a pain. It's random and I can't seem to pinpoint a reason why it happens. My PA said maybe it is a stomach cramp.

I feel it is not an emergency so I will just bring it up Aug 23 at my 6 month checkup.

Thank you for your response!💗

      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.
