Had Surgery Yesterday



Recommended Posts

I haven't been able to sleep much, I keep feeling like I'm going to throw up, but its burping that I'm doing. Anyone else experience this? What do I do? It hurts my stomach :(

I hate to say what you already have heard 500 times but walk, walk, walk. I found myself walking at all hours to relieve the gas-y pain in my stomach. Good luck and congrats!

Burping is normal . The burping will go away with time. And yes walk as much as you can to relieve the gas pain.

I had the same thing I was carrying around a puke bucket my entire hospital stay. because every time I sat up or walked it felt like I was going to throw up but all that came out was burps. Walking helps and so does Gas-X extra strength thin strips peppermint. I had my husband run out and buy them for me because my hospital didn't give me anything for gas.

I had the gas pains too.... Ouch! But noticed my Nauseau was more from talking too much. See if that's why. And then I just let the nurse n visitors know that. After the second day it was almost gone and then by the 3rd day it was over.... Good luck!

That is exactly what my doctor said!!! That my nausea was caused by me talking. Now I thought he was coooky because I am in a third world country and they have myths and wives tales but maybe he was right.

      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.
