Constantly feeling overly full
i felt that way back when i was on just shakes and waters. when i got the purees was a new game. could it be a food intolerance to your shake kind i heard those could come on. also did u try the gasx for it yet (chewable) I was prescribed 80mg "simethicone" that i can take for bloat

Constant burping since surgery - RNY
Hey i had this for the beginning too it just started clearing up by eating puree. I think the shakes were doing it and possibly drinking the oz of shake too close together. It comes back a little bit when i try to get some shake down

Day 6 post op help
I have good days n i have bad days. In the scientific data shoulder pain can be symptom of leak which is more common in vsg than bypass. I would mention all symptoms to clinic because leak has more than one symptom and if you check the boxes for it they might want to see you. I wish u some comfort on your bad days and suggest heating pad and icepacks whichever you like lol

Scolded for using "wrong" protein shake post-op
Hey I was told no PP post op until trying the wheys first. There was a list of many wheys though. The reason no PP is because it it is milk based which may make recovery worse (sensitive tummys)

Well I am probably in the complication group. I had alot of hurling post op at hospital, my oxy sats were dropping to 89 etc. Girl in the hospital as I was writhing in pain they tried to offer me aromatherapy. I said you got to be kidding me I am going to die. lol. When I first woke from op and all the people were talking to me as they were rolling me places I said Hi and they said oooh shes so soft spoken. And since then my voice has been hoarse like im il. My doctor said i had a small mouth and she had to endoscopy me during surgery so I am guessing that my voice box may be got bumped. Hoping it improves but I am a week post op and it has not so far Anyways, they did a "Ugi" on me at the hospital where I drank radioactive stuff and the nurse said I wasn't going to get to go home that day (4th day) in hospital because I had something called an ileus that was still asleep. I told my surgeon and she said she would handle it and I was released because surgeon allowed but there has been no explanation about ileus. I did have two bowel movements day 6 which didn't hurt at all unlike some of the horror stories I read. There had been a constant gurgle coming from my throat like a frog croaking and I was constantly regurging into my mouth when trying to sleep. I sleep sitting up on couch but would still happen. Having now switched to purees that is much better! Slept in bed last night finally but way elevated. I have pretty rough severe pain below left breast and i have been taking tram morn and night. The doctor ordered a "2 view xray" on my one week followup for the pain but havent heard anything back yet. Weightloss has been working. Talking to some of the other girls in the waiting room I was a bit jealous they didnt have any pain or nothing and each hour was a struggle for me. I take awhile to go from sit to stand due to that left side pain being so bad
