December Surgery dates???
shrinkingkris replied to Kimmerz23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone! The nausea has subsided, I really got nauseous when they had given me the dilaudid for pain. I’m home now, took an oral dilaudid and it didn’t do much for pain. Had picked up some liquid Tylenol and gas-x, trying to get the Tylenol down now but gosh is that stuff disgusting 🤮! Suture sites are very sore and have a bit of a headache. Very bloated, but not gassy. The largest incision site was bleeding a little bit so I put a large bandage over it. Still getting up to walk as much as possible. Had about 2.5 oz of broth w/ a small amount of genepro around 430. Going to try a SF ice pop before bed. hope everyone is doing well! -

Hi everyone had my procedure this morning. These gas pains are serious and causing some serious nausea along with them. Tried walking a few times today and couldn’t make it too far until I started to get nauseous. Every time I take my small sips and even small bites of jello my the gas pains seem to return w/ a vengeance. In bed going to attempt to sleep for a bit now. Hope everyone is doing well -

Bone broth or regular, Pre-surgery diet help
shrinkingkris replied to RedDackel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’ve been drinking bone broth! It has great benefits. I made some from the Thanksgiving turkey and some from a chicken. I portioned them out and froze them- it’s good for up to 6 months in the freezer so that helps post op too! -
