Qs: Uncomfortable feeling



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery this past monday 11/19/07. The horrible problem of gas pain from the gas left inside the stomach took a couple days to pass but since I've got home I've had this uncomfortable feeling of something passing from the top of my chest to the bottom of my stomach. It sometimes starts and ends on different parts of the esophogas/stomach. I asked the doctor and he said it's probably liquid passing down, but it happens at times even after I havent had anything to digest. It even happened when I first got home and all I had was Water and ice chips.

I want to know if anyone experiences this, and if so, does it go away. The feeling is quite uncomfortable and even makes me have to stop talking to let it pass.

THANKS!!

I also had my surgery on Monday, and from what it sounds like, it is probably some more gas pains. I keep feeling that gas shift around, although today it has been the least i have felt it in the past few days. Hopefully a more experienced bander will answer, so we both know. Congrats on your new band!!

congrats for to you too..Since you got yours on Monday too, are you on the liquid diet? For me it doesnt seem like the Protein Shakes are helping keep the hunger away. I am so very still hungry. How about you?

I was on Clear liquids (Water, crystal light & broth) until today. I wasnt hungry until last night thou. I was fine seeing all the turkey on tv and everything all day, but it wasnt until I was watching something at like, 11:30 last night, and the girls on the Real Housewives (i love that show, lol) had a salad, and I almost broke down!! It looked so good! But I got over it just thinking about the quote I have on my fridge... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!"

But back to the topic....I had my first Protein shake today, only 3 oz thou, at 3:00 this afternoon. But by like 6:00, I was starving again, so I made myself busy around my house, and now at 7:15 I am going to have 4 oz as I do stuff around my house. I am afraid to drink too much and stretch my pouch. My suggestion would be to make sure that you are drink enough Water, cause that will help with the hunger, and to get into a new hobby to occupy your time. I have taken up selling stuff on ebay, and scrapbooking.

      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.
