Post op day four is the best day yet. Soreness at my belly button incision. So hungry tho. Seriously, you guys are tolerating creamy blended Soups at 4 days post op? Jello curbs it only for a short time. Protein Shakes too.

Let me know what you guys are "eating"!!

I'm on day 6 post op and everyday gets better. Still have some gas pain, but not as bad as previously. Sore when I get up or down from a lying for sitting position. I also had a hiatal hernia which got repaired during surgery. I've been drinking Protein Shakes, broth, Jello and yesterday graduated to puddings, cream Soups and I even mashed up some potatoes. Everything seems to be going down fine.

I was banded on the 17th and also had to have a hiatal hernia repaired. Still very sore and the gas pain in my shoulder is incredible. Hoping to feel better soon. Still having trouble with the night time hungers.. ughhhh

Hunger pains and gas pains(in abdomen area and shoulder area)..woke up last night and I was dry heaving. I am now afraid to eat..I am working on a yogurt for 2 hours and only half done. I was banded on the 18th.

Think i mayb need to get some metamucil to helo along the full and nausea feeling. Maybe a good bathroom session will help

Any one have ideas for the gas pains and constiptation

Thanks

Try milk of magnesia. It's a life saver!

I used milk of mag, suppositories, enemas, and Miralax on post op day three. (all under the direction of my doc) My poor husband...

Anyway, it's amazing how great a fully functioning healthy bowel will make a person feel. Best of luck NewMe

I had a really sore throat too.

For Soup I highly recommend going to a Jewish deli and getting matzo ball Soup broth.

I was really sore by third and fourth day...take it easy. Use pain meds if you need to but don't forget something to help constipation!!!!! Stomach is healing and body making adjustments from anesthesia and diet change:)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
