I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I'm getting ready for the swallow test. He wants to send me home if it goes through

If he does, and you are still ill, do as I did in the hospital that wanted to send me home...look on the net and find the best hospital within a couple of hours of you that does gastric surgery and tell them you want to be transferred there. Fire your doc and they will give you a new one because you are newly sleeved. or is you are in a sleeve hospital, ask for another docs second opinion and ask for it in person. Sleeve surgeon only!

We are here for you! Get some answers before you go back home. I didn't fight hard enough at the start and that nearly killed me. I don't want to see you go through what i did.

I'm hoping the 7hr gap here means they found the problem & are taking appropriate measures to correct it.

What about the Fluid outside your stomache? What's it from? How are you feeling over all? Still light headed?

      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.
