Just Woke Up From Surgery!!



Recommended Posts

So I'm laying in my hospital bed, had surgery 6 and a half hours ago. I have been feeling a little spewy sick from the anesthetic but they have been giving me injections to prevent spewing and moving the band. I was originally aloud ice to suck on but now not :( I am purely on fluids through a drip until tomorrow when I drink the dye and have an X-ray. It kind of hurts to breathe and my mouth is so dry, I've never wanted a drink of Water so bad before lol

:D xox

When I have surgery I always wake up feeling really puky! I did tell the Doctor/Nurses and everyone prior that this happens. Sure enough as soon as the nurse came to try to wake me in the recovery room, as I was coming too, I said Im gonna hurl!! I didn't but they had the stuff ready right there to go in my IV.

Just let them know if you have a tendency.. they can make arrangements to have it near. They could get it anyway but I wanted to make sure!!!!

You should feel much better tomorrow! hang in there...

Just rest and recover.. and try to drink the fluids when you get back on them... keep in mind IF your on alot of IV at the moment, you might notice a some weight gain from the IV solution.. it will go away...

So my suggestion is try to stay off the scale for a week or so...

I had surgery yesterday and told the nurse that I get nauseous in the am and when I wake up almost everyday she told the anesthesiology and they gave me a shot for it! It worked so well that not even that nasty liquid before the X-ray made me nauseous! Thanks God not pain only a little on my left shoulder and I'm guessing that's from gas!!! Good 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.
