surgery today, part two to my story



Recommended Posts

Well surgery was Friday and the staff here was very sympathetic to my previous experIence and walked me through VERY slowly I woke up with no issues but dang if I didn't have buyers remorse. Day two stank badly and again I questionned why I felt the need for this. But today is day three I am up walking around a ton and feel so much better then yesterday. Today I feel like I got punched in the gut but other then thatAnd residual weakness from anesthesia things are going better. The doc shoul be in soon to do m leak test then I go to motel here for a night and home tomorrow! Yay I miss my husband and boys! Though my mom been the rock for me here.

I will post more when I get home and have my laptop handy

Best wishes!!!

I am doing great and I am almost half way home. We are driving through loa Angeles right now. I can't wait to see my hubby and kids. If you would have asked m th second day post op how I thought I woupd be feeling today, I certainly wouldn't have been this good. I have residual abdomenal pain but mostly tender to touch only. I am getting my energy back but I have a lingering headache I refuse to take anything for at thiz moment. The doc sent me home with some and I googled them they are nsaids. I thought those were no no's I am taking my stomach acid protector and an antacid the prescribed. I think I'm a little leery of the drugs you can't get in USA! Call me ocd who knows. I will take those and the antibiotic the pain stuff can kiss my rear.

I will report a blow by blow later when I'm not travelling in a car! Thank you all again, also any headache medicine suggestions are welcome.

      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.
