Sorry for jukping in so late. Some of you have asked about painf hiccups.

Mine hurt like heck the first few weeks. I had a hiatal hernia fixed. Usually the doc has to stitch up a tear in the diaphragm. So it hurts! But it does stop. For me it was around three weeks out.

I have had hiccups as well. Very painful. I had a hernia repair too. I figured it was just the spasms of the sore muscles. Better so far today. Slept for most of yesterday and all of last night. Still very tired though. Working on my liquids and Protein.< /p>

Wow. I have had trouble getting in liquids today. Is everyone else still having trouble getting liquids in? The color of my pee still looks ok. Sorry if TMI. If that changes I'm going to call the on call Dr.

I haven't had any trouble drinking. But I'm further out than you. Just take it slow and try Gatorade.

I had horrible hiccups the first week but they are gone now. Wait until you sneeze :)

Also, I know this is tmi but we are all in the same boat. I didn't go #2 for 8 days. I finally mixed some Miralax with my drink and the next day I went. Now it's all diarrhea. Everything I've read says that's normal because we are only drinking liquids.

Ohhhh sugar..... I'm still taking the Hydrocodone. But it said I could take it.

My dr and pharmacist both said that while taking the liquid pain killer Roxicet (hydro condone) do not take other pain killers including tylenol products and vicodin, or any sleep medicines like ambien, or sinus meds that make you sleepy like Benadryl......

I use the gatorade G2 because it is lower in sodium, sugar, etc. but still tastes good.

Mine said smaller than a baby aspirin do not need to be crushed. Capsules can turn sideways as they go down. Stuck pills is the worst. I say go liquid or grind them and put it in liquid unless it is a med that cannot be altered. Check with the pharmacist first.

Hi everyone!! well i had my surgery on Monday... WOW !!!

It was not as bad as I thought it would be ..the pain that is ... gas discomfort and nausea was really bad .. I stayed a little longer at the hospital, the anistesia and Morphine kicked my butt .. I stoppped taking the Morphine that first night, it just made me too nauseated.The gas x strips helped and are still helping.. everyday that passes gets better. I have my 1 week post op on tuesday. I do have to say that my head craves what my tummy cant have .. things that i have eaten and enjoyed.. popsicles -sugar free fudgcicles- sugar free

greek low or nonfat vanilla yogurt thinned out with non fat milk... beef stew - pureed and thinned out

oatmeal and cream of wheat thinned out with nonfat milk. Soups

Im fortunate my Dr. says if it pours its yours so i get a little more options that some of the other sleevers that are on clear liquids... any questions plz dont hesitate to ask ..just messsage me cause i dont always check the threads. Good luck to all the future sleevers ... i will see you on the other side

I would suggest tylenol suppositories. ..thts what they gave me @ hospital after being sleeved

Suppositories! Every 4-6 hours with everything else going on... leave my butt alone! That would've annoyed me! I have liquid tylenol.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
