TMI - Embarassing questions



Recommended Posts

I couldn't burp and the air got trapped inside, it was excrutiatingly painfull... be very glad you can and do burp, in fact I encourage it as often as possible. The other alternative is an NG tube and two days in the hospital. That's just my experience. Thankfully, there is medicine that will help you burp, so I'm hoping all is going to be fine now. I however, received my first fill last Thursday and was very worried that the problem would come back. No problems so far, but there is a pressure there that doesn't seem to go away. It's not painful (as of now) but it still worries me.

BURP AWAY and smile sheepishly if anyone says anything.:smile2:

Scar tissue is a good answer. I can't see my port, so.... I just have a scar.

Yep looks like scar tissue will be the answer

My tummy tells me I'm full by sending hiccups my way. It's kinda funny like a built in alarm system

I wish my body had an alarm system....or if it does I'm not tuned into it. DH made this WONDERFUL pasta/chicken dish (the devil) that he knows I love last night for dinner. My plan was to pick the chicken from the Pasta and maybe eat a taste of the pasta. You know what happened!! I ate as much as I usually would and felt like I had let myself down afterwards. Then I fussed at him for tempting me! Had to apoligize for that one later, it's my weakness.

I was hoping the burps would go away..lol. I was giving a lecture to my staff today and a burp came out of no where ( yeah right), more like uncontrollable burp. one of girls kind of giggled at me, oh well, it was kind of funny. there is just no warning.

      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.
