15 days post-op and I finally...



Recommended Posts

went for a run again. Before surgery I would run a few times a week at an average pace of 5.2 mph. Today I couldn't run faster then 4.5 mph, but it was a run nonetheless! The run also seemed to break loose more of that blasted gas as my left shoulder started aching.

It was good to get back to it! It is my goal to run the 12K's of Christmas this year.

I was banded June 8th, Dr. Told me can only walk until one moth post surgery. It's only a few days away but I can't wait to start at least jogging. Did you feel any pain whatsoever?

I felt a little pull around my port, but aside from that it was a normal run. Once I got going that port area pull was gone.

I'm so jealous! My doc said a month after surgery also. I miss working out so bad. I tried to walk the other day but it was too much. I'm only 9 days post-op today so I guess it was probably too soon. Have fun and have a run for me!

      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.
