I'm Back!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello All! Thank you so much for all the encouraging words. I had my Surgery on Oct 25th and I think I'm doing pretty good. The advice for the gasX and heating pad was right on the mark. I don't think I would of survived without them. I'm up and around. The soreness is almost gone except for the port incision of course. I lived the first four days on my recliner, finally made it to my bed so things are alot nicer. The only real thing that is driving me crazy is the gas. Burp Burp Burp Burp that is all I do. Plus that great air bubble that forms in the middle of my chest. Does this go away completely or am I destined to be a gassy the rest of my life. Hope not. :) My doctor has me on three weeks of liquids then three weeks of mushies. My husbands leg is beginning to look real good to me. I mean REAL good. I think I'm making him a little nervous LOL. Hope all others who had the surgery at about the time of mine are doing well. Thanks to all and excuse the quick babble of this.

HEY Janet, good to see you.

I'm still burping as well and I had it on the 24th. Other than being soooo hungry I am up and running around, going to stores, cleaning, cooking, the only thing I'm not doing is lifting. I made some ckn today with some cream sauce and I did taste the sauce. I can't wait to go on mushy food, I'm going nuts LOL.

I'm glad your doing well. Take care and feel better.

I also was banded on the 25th. Everything you said is true, I still get up in the middle of the night to sleep in the recliner, but the pain around the port site is getting better. I did have to visit the doctor yesterday because I thought my incisions looked infected but everything was all right, I did get to weigh myself-one week 14 pounds, WOW! I do know thats probably Water weight I lost, but it does make me feel good. I luckly only have to stay on the clear liqids only two weeks, I really don't think I'd make for three. I almost gag at the thought of broth and Jello, but keep plugging away. I'll remember your name and watch your progress. I think we all have made a positive move towards a healthier future!!!! Good luck:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
