Surgery Done But A Question



Recommended Posts

So yesterday was my surgery and it seems everything is going well. Granted I kinda freaked out when coming out of anesthesia because I was cold, shaking, nauseaus, and tied down to the table. I loathe being tied down and apparently when I was still half out I started thrashing around like a "wild woma ". Luckily I did of hurt myself or them. Shew!

So my question : I can't have liquids or Jello until my leak test tomorrow and my stomach is making weird noises and is sore. I can feel gas moving around inside, but I'm also feeling weird hunger pains. Do y'all think it's just the gas gurgling makin me think I'm hungry? Honestly I was hoping I would have disinterest in food. I w got Ll these fears now that maybe it wont work or something. Stupid, I know, but I could definitely use some words of advice right now....

I was sleeved on April 4th and those sound you hear are very common. I wrote in about that myself. It sounds like a gremlin or bear just roaring, lol. It does go away at 3 weeks I no longer hear it. It is gas! - get up and start moving that is the best thing you can do. You won't have any interest in food for the first week, until you CAN start eating and then you will obsess about what you can eat. You will see a huge weight loss during the first 2-3 weeks which will keep you on track. - Just drink your liquids as much as possible, you don't want to be dehydrated. Good luck - You got this!!

It would be highly beneficial for you to sleep in an upright position. You do have gas in your abdomin area so walk, walk, walk, and try to get as much rest as you can. You will be going home really soon. Let us know how your doing. ;)

the hunger you are feeling is most likely just gas. i'm 6 days post-op and still get it some, but it only lasts a few seconds. good luck!

      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.
