When Do You Start To Feel.....



Recommended Posts

So I was banded on Monday October 29th with a hernia repair , I am feeling so tired and what did I do to myself talks......so when do guys start feeling "normal or a new normal"and yeah me???

Cause its not here right now. I am finding it hard to get down protien drinks a 1/4 cup and it makes me feel so full. Also having diarhea and just feeling like a rag. I am on clear fluids until friday and saturday start full fliuds however Im not even excited cause I feel so full from just sipping on clear. My incisions are not sore just feels like I did a lot of situps but the darn gas!!!! ugh if it wasnt for the gas and I am walking. Sorry for the rant just frustrated and a little jealous of the people that sail through this :unsure:

Check with Dr, but I was able to take Imodium for diarrhea. Only took one tab and they make it in chewable.< /p>

You're only four days out from major surgery, you're supposed to feel bad. My WORST day was the seventh day post-op. Then it just got better from there.

I had a hard time too so don't feel bad. I felt like I was beat up and had no energy. I finally felt like myself a week later. But was okay about 5 days after. Just take it easy and don't feel bad about how you feel.

      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.
