Ok Still 1St Day



Recommended Posts

Ok let me be fair. So I got to the hospital @6:30 in surgery at 7. Lol I said a couple of jokes to them like I was gonna have new breast and so on. When I woke up I was in a little bit of pain mainly cause of the the anathesia. But by the time I got to the car the pain was there full effect. So the drive home was okay I got to my apartment I was rushing to get upstairs and get to my room got to my room and thank God for my heating pad was awesome and how to me a lot and I took the medicine and I Laydown woke up two hours later drink a lot in my apple juice and went back to sleep and repeat but my throat was still hurting me now my throat is feeling a lot better. Keep drinking the liquids and it starts to feel better the heating pad I had it on my stomach it took the pain away completely. Until you take It off pain comes back lol. I'm up watching tv and try to walk around my apartment since its huge me and my dog. I'll keep you posted

Make sure to take your pain meds on time for the first couple days- if you wait til you are sore, it is harder to get relief.

      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.

      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.
