She's Baaaaaack (From Surgery--Lol)!



Recommended Posts

CJ--I just had surgery with Dr.Kelly on July 2nd, and I also vomited the entire first two days...and nights!! It was horrible!!! We must have had the same doctor...who wasn't free with pain relief!!

I am not nauseous anymore, but Each time I swallow food or liquid, I get a stomach cramp, and I can feel it going through my system and then it is done. Did you experience this? Sometimes it isn't even after food or liquid consumption. Gas??

Thanks,

Pam

No way!! Not you too??? I thought I was the only one. It's probably too late now, but like i said, things changed after I told Dr, Kelly.

To answer your question, if you had surgery July 2nd, you SHOULD NOT yet be having food!! (I hope you just mis-typed.) But I do recall that for the first 8 days after surgery, when I would swallow liquid, I could feel it go all the way down and then kind of get stuck at a certain spot. But by day 8, that feeling magically went away. So I wouldn't worry too much. :)

Thanks for sharing. I had no vomiting. That must have been awful! My worst problem was gas pain the first day. Haven't had any nausea. All in all, pretty uneventful.

You are hilarious!! Thank you For sharing your ups and downs, so that the rest of us can see what it might be like. I agree, I HATE being sick. I focus on only that as well. Like a Migraine. I'm usually pretty certain I'm going to die.

"What sorta place is this?" I LOL'd. You should write for a living! Maybe you do?

I'm glad you made it out and had a good overall experience.

      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.
