1 Week Post-op Update



Recommended Posts

I guess this could have waited until after my 1st post-op appt... anyway....

I'm feeling great!! A little light headed and weak due to the lack of calories and stuff... I'm only allowed bariatric clears... (Is there something I can have that will help me not feel some "out of it"??).. I easy get in all of my liquids.. (Thank God!!)

I'm almost pain free, until I forget that I have staples and that I HAD surgery a week ago... and I try to pick something up off the floor or turn a certain way...

I'm still overwhelmed and feeling so blessed by the support I've been receiving from you guys, my family and friends... Although, one of my good friends is MIA... I have a feeling we gonna have to have a 'come to Jesus' meeting really soon... but, it's OK.. she'll be fine!!!

I've really been wanting some cream of potato Soup for the last 2 days.. so HOPEFULLY (fingers crossed), I'll be ok to go to full liquids and pureed foods tomorrow!!!

I haven't been hungry as normal, but I think that little empty feeling in my middle may be my signal for now.. I'm okay w/ that..

Oh, NSV.... got out of the shower this am, I was able to give myself a little foot massage as I lotioned up!! HA!!! That's huge for me!! As I have left side nerve damage due to some herniated discs in my back, thus lifting my left foot has never been this easy since my injury!!! That made me smile!!!

I hope everyone is having a greatly favored and awesomely blessed day!!!

Love and Hugs

Tina

Love it on the foot massage!! You are doing great and sorry that your friend is MIA right now. Hopefully it's just holiday related stress and not something serious on her part.

You sound great, which is wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that from you!

Too many exclamation points in this post, as always. :) :) :)

Thanks guys!!! I'm excited about my 1st appointment tomorrow... I actually had a few tsp of very, very pureed green Beans from Christmas dinner and the lightheaded feeling is basically gone!! What a relief.. I can't stand the "I'm gonna faint any moment" feeling!!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
