4 Days Post Op... Advice?

[igonnawin 11]

I am 4days post op also. I work all day to get in Water. I know I am still not getting enough water in yet. I haven't had a bowel movement and can only take a couple sips at a time. My surgeon said that I will hate him now but love him later because he makes a tighter sleeve than most. He said my stomach is only the size of my pointer finger. I am more worried about getting my water in for now so I don't get dehydrated. I will worry about more Protein later. Too bad no one has come out with a Chettos flavored Protein Shake. I am already tired of the variety of sweet shakes out there.

I'm sipping Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein right now and it tastes good.

Wow...I'm 4 days post op....and am not even considering cottage cheese, thin cheese, cheese of any or sort (and I'm a cheeseaholic)...I'm either sipping 1 of 10 or more flavors of Chrystal Light all day, or 1 of the 3 16oz protien liquid drink required...there's a cup in my hand at all times it seems. Sounds like I'm doing ok, as I am able to get in the 48-64 oz's of liquids in a day...32 of which are protien drinks. Take care and keep on keeping on!!

Thank goodness I don't work...I couldn't even imagine that thought right now. Managing this post op diet is work enough, and worth it, and hopefully a huge payoff in the end!!

I'm back to work 12/12. Kaiser releases you from the hospital on all liquids. So I was on clears for 2 days. And now I'm all liquid and that includes yogurt and cottage cheese. It's just not sitting well.

A favorite of mine is miso broth. I'm trying to stick to the meal plan with 3 meals a day but the miso tempts me so much! It's 20 cals a cup so not bad. But I shouldn't be eating between meals. My NUT said grazing is a bad habit to get into so early.

I guess all doctors are different. Everyone has their own plan

I'm bored at home too. Nothing to do, can't walk cuz of the rain. I'm not trying to catch a cold. So I'm mainly indoors. Is anyone driving yet?

[LHT 21]

I haven't yet only because I'm taking my pain meds every 4 hours .....

[SeriouslyChange 319]

I stopped taking pain meds 4 days ago, you think I'd be safe to drive? I'm 6 days out

I've grabbed my husband (who needs WLS also) and walked a couple of times today. 1st time was 4 houses down, 2nd time was 6 houses. This is a huge event for me, cuz b4 surgery I was seeing a chiropractor for low back pain...now I'm afraid all that work has been undone. Bored also, trying to watch "Liz and d**k"... ugh, not keeping my attention at all!
