Surgery 6/20/13, True Results in Scottsdale-Self Pay



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone! I am new to the community, I have been blogging on blogspot about my journey so far but I figured I'd reach out here too. If anyone is a member there too, you are more than welcome to follow me! I'd love to have more bandster friends to ask advice from when I need it. My blog is http://gettinghealthyformyself.blogspot.com/

I am 5 days post op and feeling good. I am getting in as much Protein as I can and Water, too. I am going walking (strolls) when I have the energy. Today is my first day back to school and work. It's hard getting back into the daily grind but luckily, I am mainly sitting all day. Today is also my first time without taking my liquid lortab and I am definitely feeling more sore than the last few days without it. I am mainly sore at my port site and normally only when I bend or sit up too quickly. I'd love to have some specific people to reach out to with questions that are post op, as well! I can also help with people who may have questions about things and are still pre op. I may not know a lot, but I am willing to share!

I am anxious to be recovered. lol but I know this phase will pass. It's mostly discomfort and the horrible tightness/pressure in the morning.

My hunger has suddenly come back too.

I am better than yesterday though! :)

How are you doing with it?

Hi! Glad to hear you are doing so well. I also had surgery on 6/20/13 and am doing great. I have had very little pain, really not even enough to require medication, but I have the med if I need it and have taken a few times. I find that the only pain I have really is if I move in a direction that I should not, bending etc. I had one episode last night where I felt I might vomit after having some pudding. I think I ate it too fast and had air bubbles. Took the Mylicon gas drops and was fine. But that feeling of nausea was certainly a wake-up call. I will be folliwing your blog--thanks for the invitation! :) Continued success on your journey!

Hi, I am 2 days out from surgery on Monday the 24th. I am having a lot of pain on the left side near my incisions. Everytime I take a deep breath, I feel a stabbing pain on the left side of my upper abdomen. The pain is wearing me down. I am taking gas x and using a heating pad and I have been walking around my house alot. I hope to walk outside today but I feel very weak as I have had nothing but clear liquids since Sunday... I just wonder if this level of pain is normal for day 2 post-op? I would appreciate any help you all can offer.

      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.
