Day 9 post back in the hospital :(



Recommended Posts

So it's day 9 I have been feeling great, a little sore but much better. I have been drinking drinking drinking!!! I have lost 16 lbs. In 9 days. I woke up this morning so tired and weak buy I got up and made a shake and drank my fluids. I Took a shower to wake me up and my eyes couldn't see even with glasses, I had a migrane, dizzy and shaky. Me being a self diagnoser I knew I was dehydrated. I got down on myself and wasn't sure I I should call dr. Office well I did and they were on lunch so I went to er. They confirmed my diagnosis and my surgeon happened to be here and said it's common and as much as I'm drinking the weight coming off is so drastic my body can't keep up. Im so glad I listened to my body and didn't brush it off.... Iv fluids are running now and I should be better!!

I have to keep reminding myself this will all be worth it

Always listen to your body! Hang in there, you're doing great :D If anything not so pleasant happens, I always say it is worth it, because it is.

Wow It is good that u listened to your body and called the Dr/ ER. Were u taking any type of diuretic to make ur body loose so much Fluid? ? I am 1 day post of and trying to do this 1 oz every 15 mins! That is hard!! So far I have had 36 oz today! I just set my timer to go off every 15 mins so I can at least get a little closer to my goal! Wish me 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?

        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.
