3 Days Post Op, Having Regrets



Recommended Posts

A low grade fever may indicate a little lung congestion too. Are you taking deep breaths and productively coughing? Im postoperative day one today and coughing hurts!

I was banded on Wednesday, April 18th. I think today has been the worse so far. Whenever I move around my insides hurt. I'm still walking for the gas pains and they are starting to leave. But stomach area is very tender and hurts to get up from a chair or bed. How long does this pain usually last?

I feel your pain. My little pug (16 pounds) stepped right on my port area...it felt weird. I hope it isn't messed up. I was so protective when I was freshly pre-op but since I have no pain or discomfort...I didn't think about it.

Thanks Cindysmom! Today was a pretty rough day and I'm not out of the woods yet. My GI motility is just not working for me. After a day of two types of laxatives and two enemas, i have to believe Tomorrow will be better.

No regrets

      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.
