Hope you are feeling better soon. I gurgled after every sip but I believe that is the gas trying to escape. My nurse told me to burp as often as possible. My gas pain only lasted a few days. My tummy/throat still make ridiculous sounds when I drink. I only partially vomited because I was gagging on mucus. Vomiting after surgery is common though.

Everytime I cough I got scared cuz it actually hurt. I used the incentive spirometer to help with my lungs just for some reason the gas pain was still there . I'm home now and kinda feeling better just wished I never experienced such a pain in my life

Way to go my April 21st date mate!!! I'm on day four of my pre-fast diet and I'm doing fine just having a lot of diarrhea, nausea, and lightheadness. I'm caling my Nutritionist when she gets in at 10 to see what she has to say. This pre-diet is really hard especially when you have an addiction to overeating. I gradually tried to prepare myself for it by drinking the Protein Shakes in the morning and at lunch and dinner time I would have something light. I wish you well with yours. I have to do two weeks of shakes 3x's per day along with the liquids as needed. Have a great day!!!

Hey guys!! just had my preop appointment!!! i start my liquid shakes tomorrow for 10 days then 2 days of only clear liquids!! April 21st is my lucky day!! congrats on everyone who had surgery or got great news!! what did everyone do the night before they started their Protein Shake diet? did u have a big dinner? like a last supper kinda deal??? idk what my lastnormal meal should be bc i wont be eating real food for about 6 weeks!

[MrsGloMartin 198]

Congrats!!! I'm on day four of my pre-op diet and I'm not weighing myself until next Monday the day I started this diet. i hope I will have lost as much as you have that's awesome!!1 Are you or hav eyou experienced any nausea, diahrrea, or lightheadness? I just spoke with my doctor's nurse and she took down my info and said she will get back with me. I just want to know how long this is going to last or if it is a sign that I'm not getting enough Protein. My date is April 21st, I'm right behind you and I wish you all the best!!!
