Im Finally Post Op



Recommended Posts

Im 2 days post op and feeling good. The first day was the worse with the gas pain in my left shoulder but once that went away I have been great just a lil sore. Today is my first full day home so Im really trying to make sure I get my fluids in and walk. I was nervous to take my morning meds today but they did not seem to upset the princess like the swallow study or the 2 hour ride home did yesterday. I hope that this continues no real pain, nausea, etc. I had read a lot of horror stories pre op so I was aware of the good and bad. I feel very blessed that God has brought me through to this point with little discomfort and I have faith that he will continue to help me out. How are all the other October 29th sleevers doing?

Im a little sore where they removed the stomach and Im getting about 42-48 oz of Water a day the last 2 days. I have slept in so I plan to get up at my regular time starting tomorrow so I have more time to sip. Sipping doesn't hurt but i get full and tired of sipping all day. I've been home 2 1/2 days and all i've done is sip. I have all these popsicles and Jello and all I have had since I came home is water and 1 popsicle.

I know it's hard trying to sip all day long and what's with the saliva in overdrive I can't seem to stop producing spit I'm trying not to swallow to much it makes me gag after awhile lol hopefully it will get better as the days go by

It should get better. I'm up to 50 oz of liquids today because I'm making myself. I just now tried Jello for the first time just for some variety and i do believe that this sf peach jello is the best tasting stuff on the face of the earth, lol.

      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.
