I am in....
-
I have gone through 2 procedures - the Band in 2005 and then the VSG this year. I had more pain with the band than with the VSG. A little pain is to be expected but can be well managed. Work the program - walk - walk then walk some more - its the best way to get rid of the gas pain. You got this.

My doc gave me coulchine, it works, but it takes about 2 - 3 days
-
easy one - potato, baked or sweet, just the meat of the spud, mash it, a very little butter, S&P to taste - make you full very quick and very easy to eat. I am in the 3rd week and on mush also. Scrambled eggs work for me. I have also nibbled on some solid foods, but chew, chew and then chew some more until its a fine mash - then chew one more time.... small amounts.

Doc gave me Culchicine, what a huge relief - really helped heal up the gout.

Had VSG on 5/1, on 5/11 was in the ER thought I might have a clot ended up, they think its Gout - followed up with my GP yesterday, he did a blood draw for the Uric Acid - he said he would not give me Colcrys because of what it can do to the stomach. Well, it's 3:03 am, I just took another hydrocodone, can't get any sleep the pain is unbearable. I will call the surgeon's office to see if I can get their take on Colcrys - this is just miserable.

I am so with you. 2 weeks on Monday post op. Fed up of protein shakes and a 1/2 cup of cream of anything soup. Is everyone else being told 3 weeks of liquids, followed by 2 weeks of mashed, smashed everything. I am not Hungry at all, just need some food texture.

Nope - I love my espresso. I know it's a no - so am going to try to just have once in a while

I am with the pharmacist. I was given a hydrocodone pill in the hospital, in the evening after my surgery. They are not hard to get down. I have been taking my other meds by pill also every day - if you can get the hydrocodone or even tramadol, it should help more than the Tylenol. Be your advocate, call, discuss, and you make the decision with your surgeon.

Yes ask for a scopolamine patch. It works
