Gastric Sleeve Surgery October 31st



Recommended Posts

Just had surgery last Monday Halloween day!!! Imagine that had my pumpkin reduced on Halloween, no worries though Great Surgeon and hospital care staff at the OLOL regional in Baton Rouge Louisiana.I had a rough night the first night after surgery mostly due to gas pains, amazingly God blessed me and I was not at all nausiated, gas pains where enough couldn't imagine having to vomit on top of that. I am currently 5 days post op and am up walking aroung the yard and neighborhood the only complaint I have today is that. The incision where the removed my stomach still hurts if I cough or move alot. I have been rally impressed so far with the recovery.

      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.
