4 days post op



Recommended Posts

I am four days post op. I am very happy about the decision I made. I am a petite woman- 5 feet tall but I weighed 218 pounds . That was the largest I had ever weighed. I found the first few days alittle tough. The worse thing for me was the bad backaches I had. I suffer from back spasms so after I was placed into recovery, it was bad. A few days after my surgery was the worst. I guess that saying it gets worse before better is true for me. Four days in, I am still sore but I feel good. I got dressed and put makeup on! I went to my friend Alicia"s house and weighed myself and I am down 7 pounds!!!! I can see it in my face! This has been a blessing for me that I cannot take advantage of. I cannot find myself reverting back to those old habits. For the first time in days, my stomach actually growled. It is no where but down for me!!!

      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.
