Recommended Posts

Ok, so been posting on here how uncomfortable I have been still a week after surgery i can barley get Water in so after a painful night last night I called the dr. and went in this morning...and he ended going into my port to see if there was somehow some Fluid left in there from the test hey did on it, my dr. does not leave any fluid in normally...well he withdrew 2cc's!! I can only hope that is what caused all my discomfort when I should be feeling better a week after!!! I still am having some cramping but I havnt eat anything yet today...so cross your fingers that this will help me feel better! I am sure in a few days when im starving I will wish I had it back in but my first fill is sept 7th and hopefully I can wait that long!!

The same thing happened to me, except I had 4 cc's left in. I was miserable and in the hospital for 5 days because of it. I couldn't keep anything down. As soon as he withdrew the Fluid, things have been 100% better! I am still afraid to eat too much though.

Good luck!

My doctor planned to give me a slight fill of 2CC's at surgery. Drinking at first was little sips at a time but I could do it. After a few days... I could take normal sips without a problem. Everyone is different though and our tolerences for fills may not be the same. My first fill took me to 3.5 CC's and back to the small sips for a few days. My second fill the doc wouldn't tell me how much but again... small sips for a few days. Hope this info helps!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
