Recommended Posts

Cannot digest aanything; everything comes back up. I have had a near constant case of diverticulosis for two months. I have been to ER 3 times with severe abdominal pains; can’t get admitted due to overrun by CoVid. they give me ivs & send me home because they’res no beds.

I am 66 years old & I am scared.

This sounds terrifying. Yes, please call your surgeon asap. Good thoughts your way.

This sounds more likely related to your surgery than diverticulosis, as diverticulosis doesn't hurt. If you have diverticulitis, that is painful, but that has other symptoms as well. Definitely call your surgeon.

I had RNY and at 3 mos post-op I could not keep anything down and had stomach and chest pain. After 2 trips to the ER my surgeon did a scope and I had developed an ulcer at the staple site of my new stomach. Apparently this can happen at anytime during the healing process. I am on meds 4 times a day and it takes about 3 mos to heal. You should contact your surgeon asap.

      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.
