Finally Home After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I will be totally honest, having this surgery is very big, this is something u really need to think about. I will admit the very next day I was feeling regret, but each day I'm feeling better. I had my surgery Monday & today I'm having some heartburn & diarrhea, that's nothing compared to the other days.

I'm not hungry, I only eat because I have to, to get energy. I can't wait to get over this hurdle.

Wow, I have been very scared lately -- only because my surgery is next week. Hmmmm, please keep me posted on your progress!! Sounds like you're getting better every day.

I had my surgery on June 5th. Just got home last night. Not really hungry either. Was shocked to see I had gained 11 lbs. Trying to figure out how that was possible.

Hang in there, it gets better! I was sleeved on May 25 th and exactly a week after surgery I returned to work. I was off pain meds three days after getting home. Other than some soreness and the heartburn I feel completely normal...actually better than I did before.

Your weight gain is from the IV fluids. Don't worry, it will go away soon! :)

I gets better soon.. I promise. Just keep on getting the fluids in and walk as much as you can. You will feel better in no time. By next week you will feel like a new person.

The IV fluids is the reason for the gain. Walk as much as you can and sip your liquids! By next week things will be better

My friend gained 10 lbs too. He said it was because of the liquids pumped into you. I lost 1 lb when I got home from hospital. We are all different. And that 11 lbs you will prob pee out :) hopefully.

      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.
