Newbie- 4 Days Post Op
brooklynnightress replied to Memily's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I am 9 days post op. First I want to tell you. You will be fine. The first 3 days post op for me was the worst the days ever. Until I pushed myself to have a consistence regimen. Starting day 4 I woke up took my anti acids med. then drink hot tea to get ride of the gas, I then drink the Protein shake because in our nutrition class, we were taught that protein is important for ( healing , hair loss prevention ect.) I must say since day for I have been stronger. I hope my story help. -

Liquids Post Op 5 Days
brooklynnightress replied to Gelica's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, Adamfishaa, I was told the same thing. I remember the nutritionist saying protein intake will help you from losing your hair. liquid in general will help you from getting dehydrated. By the way, I too sleeved on November 20th 2013. -
Hello all, This is a message from (how I feel right now ) food hater. I had my surgery on 11/20/2013. Today is day 4 and I must say every day is getting better. I am able to tolerate more liquids. No nausea, spitting or vomit. I do have one concern. My throat feels really tight. I have to take really deep breaths in order to breath. Does that seem normal? One other concern I have is, I haven't received a call from my surgeon or anyone on his team to see how I am doing/? do I have any complaints? can they help me with something? I called on Friday to ask a question gas. No call back. What do you guys/or gals think?
