Hi I am a little over a week out of surgery. I started mushies yesterdat and everytime I try to eat them I get a side ache in my left side that lasts for an hour or so. Has anyone else had this or know what it is? :biggrin:

I'm not sure if its same thing but I read in another post that someone got aches in shoulder when they ate too much (gas?) maybe... I'm not getting banded until Aug 5 and going to same doc as you... I feel confident about doc but nervous about procedure in general - that maybe somehow it just won't work for me. Did you feel good about hospital? Doc? Hotel? thanks, sorry, I'm not able to help yet.

Yeah I know the gas in my shoulder feeling. This is different. Its lower and deep in my side. I think Im going to go back to liquids for the rest of the weekend till I talk to the Dr on Monday.

Majpie-If you want to know about my experiance with the Dr, hospital there, and hotel, you can go into my thread in July bandsters called "my mexico thread" Here is the link http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18165/my-mexico-thread-98183/ It documents the whole experiance day by day as I was there getting banded with Dr Rumbaut. And if you have any other questions that arnt in there, just private message me. :tongue2:

I couldn't eat mushies until week 3 and by then I was pretty healed and it didn't hurt. If it still hurts on Monday call your surgeon and ask.

Some people say that the ache in the left side is a sign of being full. Remember that being full will feel different now than it ever did before. Hopefully that's all this is. :tongue2:

      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.
