When Will This Pain Go Away?



Recommended Posts

Thanks Dody!

Yes, Water is warm, not cold. It just does not sit well in my stomach. ANd before banding, I was a gallon a day girl.

I do hope every day gets better. :-)

When is your surgery?

Leenerbups, How are you doing today? Are you able to get more down? Is the pain still as severe? I keep praying for you that it will get better and better each day. Has your doctor given any new advice or anything?

Hi Lianna!

I had a good day yesterday. Acid was less. I was able to eat some refried Beans (1/2 cup) and 1/2 c mashed potato for dinner. I find as long as I drink super slow and no Water, but milk,etc it's getting better. I'm not getting enough liquids in doing this, so that is a concern.

Things are looking up! :-) Thank you for checking in on me. *hugs*

I leave for Tennessee on Apr. 10 and see the surgeon on Apr. 26. I don't know the exact date of surgery. Did you remember Christopher Walken's birthday was this week? I heard it on Entertainment Tonight.

I'll be hear looking for support after banding, of that I'm sure. Hope you are feeling lots better by that time.

WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I'm feeling GREAT!!!

No more pain, I'm eating mushies fine, drinking Water fine!!

I turned this corner yesterday after slowing coming up the past 5 days from a really hard time as you know.

The acid reducers and all the advice given in here in regards to how and what to eat and drink is what did it.

I AM SO HAPPY.:clap2:

The only downside is now 'm starting to get hungry!! How did that happen so quick??:)

So glad you are feeling good and you toughed this out. You are right, I think you've turned a corner and I couldn't be happier for you. I don't know anything about the eating aspect, because I'm not banded yet, but now I know when I am you can be there to tell me not to give up. :)

So, you took your turn at 3 weeks post-op? Doesn't it seem like about 6-8 at least?! You had a tough start, but I'm so glad you made it through and are on the mend. You got your hunger back...great! You will keep this at bay lots better when you can eat like a big-girl bandster...protiens first, then veggies, then starches if you can. BUT, you are not done healing so only eat foods that are comfortable and ease in the solids slowly as your doc advises. Heal now, lose more weight later. Yay Leenerbups!!!! I'm so proud of you!!!! Look for my 1 year bandiversary thread coming soon. Before you know it, you'll be posting one, too!

leener...i am so happy for. ive been watching your posts with trepidation. afraid for you. feeling bad and wishing you did not hurt so much. healing from the surgery was bad enough without having all of the acid reflux and pain with everything. my hat is off to you. im a big baby and could not have done what you did with so minimal complaints :ban: So pleased that you have turned a huge corner. yipee for you. i on the otherhand have way to much ease in eating real food now. everyday i want to go back to mushies but i tolerate food very very well. i dont drink when i eat and i chew til the cows with cowbells come home!! but... i eat real foods damnit. im still down 8 lbs... with my first fill i hope to really start to lose. you must have lost tons of weight during all of your troubles. good luck and good wishes to you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
