When did you feel good post op



Recommended Posts

Jamee - the stomach rumbling might be acid. Did your surgeon prescribe you any kind of antacid or reflux script? My only stomach rumbling has been due to gas, I do not feel hungry at all and only eat because i am supposed to.

Jmiller - I have a case of Protein drinks from costco but I'm not supposed to start them until day 6 or until I have a bowel movement.

Well...I had intense left lower pain for several weeks and thought something major had gone wrong. The doc kept telling me it was the muscle healing after all of the stitches inside he had given me. One day not log after that, I woke up pain-free. It has absolutely left and I have lost 42 lbs and am doing great. I wouldn't change a thing now, even with the pain to endure. It will pay off.

I don't know my BMI was 31 so I don't know if they go on that or maybe the Doctors preference. My mom had one with a Tummy Tuck and she said it wasn't that bad.

I feel better each day, however, Today I have been dizzy again. :( 8 weeks out +-

and at dinner- had 3 bites and ended up vomiting it all.

and so it goes... somedays are good- some are not so...

the best part of the sickness- almost always gives me a weight drop :D

I'm glad your dropping pounds but not like that. I hate feeling dizzy and throwing up. What does the Dr say?

The rumbling is after I swallow drinks or my sugar free pop

Pop as in soda pop? That is a big no-no. The carbonation will expand and stretch out your sleeve.

      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.
