Baned yesterday now what?



Recommended Posts

Thanks to all. I was given all the info about what I should be drinking , when and how much. Before surgery I got everything in and knew EXACTLY what I should do. It just seems that when I got home I went brain-dead !dry.gif I know I'm not drinking as much as I should but am going to try an increase all liquids. What is the amount of liquids at a meal such as broth do you drink at one sitting?

Trying to force liquids as I know I am not drinking enough. With broth or shakes I am doing half servings, 4 oz at a time. I just added some unflavored Unjury Protein Powder to my Water with a SF Hawaiian Punch packet. It is not too awful bad and is helping with the Protein level that I need to reach. Having more shoulder pain today, and am very very sore on the left side of my tummy. Moving and coughing causes a lot of pain, but I know it will get better with time. My stomach is so sore I cannot yet wear pants on it. Hope tomorrow that changes.

Here is a tip that I still use.

Put 64oz. in the Fridge for the next day.

Everything that you mix Water in. You use that Water.< /p>

oatmeal, shakes, Mashed potatoes, what ever...

You use that water including DRINKING.

You get your Fluid intake for the day. and

you don't have to worry about just drinking water at 64oz. a day.

Wash your Jug out at night, and fill again for the next day.

Hope this helps the Confusion.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
