Not Taking In Enough Calories.
needamulligan replied to angbutler0712's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm day 4 post op, it's been good except for the gas pain that you're describing which is worse today. Gas x isn't helping a great deal so I'm trying benefibre. I think they protein load you before hand to help with healing in this after surgery stage. I think it's expected we will not get more than a few hundred calories for awhile, best to stay hydrated. I have to be on clear liquids till after day 6 post-op then I can have shakes. Have you tried the isopure that is clear with protein? Maybe it would be easier going down. Stay strong, we'll get through this and be in happy band land soon! -
Lap Band Surgery Day Stories
needamulligan replied to pennyt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Banded yesterday Nov 22nd, so far so good. it was a great experience, as far as gas pain goes so far it's been about 3-4/10 I slept a lot yesterday, today not so much been eating my broth and pedilyte freezies, not hungry although there has been a lot of food commercials on with US Thanks giving day being tomorrow lol. No regrets, my cousin flies to Toronto on Monday for her surgery on Tuesday the 29th. At least she will have a mentor. -
Hernia Same Time As Lap Band Surgery ?
needamulligan replied to acenangel11's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my operation yesterday, honestly it's not too bad, had some dry heaving with the nausea-- that, I would have to say was the worst part of it. My Hernia was a surprise, they said it is pretty common in women who've gone through childbirth, they documented it and ticked off the box" large" Hernia repair. I was surprised but glad they caught it, could explain all the acid reflux and heart burn over the last couple years. The only pains I can say I am having are from the gas (CO2). -
