Post Op Day 4. Help?



Recommended Posts

1. How many ounces should I be sipping each time I take a 'sip'. I don't know if i'm trying to take in way to much liquid to quickly or what because It'll stay down for an hour or two and then it will come right back up, but it's always like 1 to 2 oz that comes back up.

My Dr. said every patient spits up until they find out how they respond to diffrent sippings at diffrnent times.

Now , see, with me you can't just tell me to figure it out and hope that you pick the right amount and times.... it's more like with me I need a checklist that tells me to drink this much at this time.

My guess is i'm trying to drink to much to fast.

2. Is this what you guys call gas pains when you feel so full and bloated that you'd give anything to burp? because i'd give anything to be able to burp and get this full feeling off my belly.

As a heart patient its taking my body a while longer to get used to things.... I haven't even farted or passed a bile movement one.

Answers? Help? What's good for a distressed belly?

You need bowl movements to feel better. It's my 2nd day and yesterday I was walking, taking deep breathes, I kept moving, drank a lot of Water even tho I didn't want to lol but..burbs felt so good..unfortunately I can't leave the hospital till I pass gas the other end =\ lol ppl react different to anesthesia, I'm takin mini sips every other couple of minutes that way it doesn't upset my stomach, you could be trying to drink too much too fast

      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.
