Surgery Is Done



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to thank you all for the emotional support. My surgery is done. Most of the dizziness, and nausea has passed but still in a lot of pain. I am so grateful I could stay here overnight. If I can do this, anyone can. Will post my surgery day story when I feel better. Thanks.

See daisy I knew you could handle it. So glad you are on your way now. Congradulations, get some rest and take your meds on a consistent basis. (ahead of the pain) At least for a couple of days. I haven't had surgery but that's what I'm going to do.

Thank you ladies. I can have more med in 2 hours thank goodness. I am scared to overdo it today. After getting home and laying in bed, the pain was extreme to the point that it hurt to breathe. I think i need a wedge bc my angle is bad. I also hurt the port site when trying to roll out of bed.

So it's been a rough day but hope it is better day 3

Hi Manda.,

Feeling a little better today. The pain isnt as severe. I am able to get up out of bed and chairs a lot easier. I walked a couple blocks outside though that wiped me out. I am having trouble getting deep breaths in so working on practicing my breathing. Sipping on my liquids all day. The thing is I am SO gassy. Feels like I need to let the air out if you catch my drift.. But nothing comes out.

Overall better than yesterday!

      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.
