Recommended Posts

Well I was sleeved on the 17th. Surgery went well but I woke up feeling so sick. Took a while, lots of rest and hitting that morphine pump quite a few times but by 4pm I was good. I got up and walked and walked. Had a problem passing urine and was about to get a cath when bam, I finally went potty enough. The nurses were surprised how well I was getting around. I slept ok lastnight had a little bit of reflux pain but no real gas pain. I burped some but that was about it. This morning the took me for my leak test and all was good. They brought me a Breakfast and lunch trey within 20 of eachother. I sipped on my Water and broth. The nurse came in an removed my iv and morphine and said I could go home. So my mom came to get me and the car ride home was good. I don't live too far from the hospital. I felt pretty good so I asked my mom if she would stay while I took a shower and then she head home. I did my walking too my pain meds and slept. I have been sipping on my Protein Shake and my water taking it slow so I don't have any surprises. My tummy is over here talking to me as we speak but all in all I feel good.

      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.
