Surgery Complete a few hours ago today.....



Recommended Posts

my surgery was 11am this morning & I left recovery @ 2:30. Doc said I did really well very routine...

Have to admit I am concerned because i'm starving!.... This is upsetting me.....i haven't eaten since 8pm ystdy but I was hoping the hunger pain would not be present.....

did anyone else have this post-op?

my pain is ok (4 on the scale) but I got my period this morning so I have cramps to go along with my hurt belly but all is good. I am so excited for what is to come!!!! I truly am.

I have no nauseous but I do feel gas coming on.... We will see. My throat was very sore when I first got to my room & my voice is very hoarse....I am super tired so I guess I should be resting while I can.....

will post again later!

hopefully I will wake up not hungry....is it normal & it is bothering me so much

I hope your feeling good. I remember just being out of surgery feeling that nothing was different about me, I almost couldn't believe it really was done. I was hungry the first few days but I think it was stomach acid. Most likely it will go away. It took me 5 months to really have that full feeling, so everyone is different. Welcome to the other side, Janine : )

Congrats to another IE (that's inland empire for you non CA peeps) sleever. You will do fine. The throat was the worse thing for me. They finally hit me with some spray that took care of it. Have them get you up and walking as soon as they can, really helps the gas. wishing you a speedy recovery.

Congrats on being sleeved!! I agree the hunger is probably acid. I didnt feel hunger at that point, but they had a PPI in my IV. It's weird how it gives a false hunger feeling. You could ask your dr or a nurse about getting something for it. It's great that you feel good enough to post so soon! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

It's great that you're up to posting!! All I did after surgery was sleep. No reading, almost no TV, just sleep. I can't speak for the hunger b/c I didn't have a problem with that. But, gas pains...walk!!!

Hi!!! I have to say...WOW!!! I can't believe u were able to make this post on the SAME day of surgery. I think just the fact that u did THAT is amazing!!!! Today is my 1st day not feeling sub- human. My surgery was Wed Aug 10th. And it's my 1st day that I just felt ok. But I will take it!!!!

Anyway I wanted to tell you that I was starving when I woke up from surgery!!! I have felt hunger since then but I'm allowed blended Soups so that satisfies me. My doc said it was just acid in my stomach. Not sure but it did freak me out also and it did go away. Don't worry!!! U are doing amazing!! Today is the first day I could even go on the computer. Just get plenty of rest and you should be fine!!! Best of luck to you!!! name='prairiedawn' timestamp='1306967712' post='158523']

      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.
