Surgery Was On May 31St



Recommended Posts

Finally took the plunge. Recovery is going well. I have been home for two nights. Just trying to stay hydrated and rest. I have been having chest pain, hiccups and painful burping so I backed off a bit on the Protein which I had begun today. I was trying to get in an ounce or so but it's just too soon. Now I am having some peppermint tea to calm my tummy down a bit. I need to get up and walk periodically or liquids get stuck, guess its all par for the course at this point. I hope to be feeling better soon. I do feel thankful for the support of the members of this forum.

Glad to hear that you are home and doing as well as to be expected! Are you taking a PPI? It is the first thing I do in the mornings since being sleeved. I was given prescription Prilosec but it was not working very well for me. I went and bought Zantac 150 and it's a miracle! I have not had half of the acid or heart burn and burping since. I take it twice daily, most days!

      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.
