Shortness Of Breath



Recommended Posts

Today I am exactly one week post op. I am feeling pretty good but I noticed I feel winded pretty easily. Like last night taking my kids upstairs and putting them to bed i had to keep stopping to catch my breath. I never had this issue before. Did anyone else feel this after surgery?

Me too. I am a week out and feeling winded after a little exertion. Otherwise I feel pretty darn good! Think we just need to get moving more. I am going to do more this weekend. Try to up my stamina as I am back to work on Monday.

Well you are lucky you took a week off of work. I had my surgery on Thursday and went back to work the following Monday. I dont know what made me think that was enough time! I was miserable up until yesterday. But I feel fine shortness of breath is my only complaint. However, I do think I need to work on my Water intake a little more.

I was tempted to take less time but had the time so said what the heck. Sorry you had to go back so soon. I hope you are getting enough sleep.< /p>

      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.
