FatMamaw 7 Posted February 8, 2013 I'm having surgery Feb 18th, àt Baylor Trophy Club, sleeve and hernia repair. I'm 63 and I keep my grand babies 3 days a week. You that have already had the surgery think I will feel like keeping them, the week I have surgery? I handle pain very well, but from reading the posts I'm afraid I might be tired. I don't want to be impatient with my grandkids. They are ages 3 years and one is 10 months. I am weak and terribly hungery on my pre op diet. Will I be less hungery and weak after surgery? I could eat the singles off the roof right now. Thanks in advance, Elaine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mastiff_mama 171 Posted February 8, 2013 Here's what I don't get....I am no Einstein, but since my degree is in mathematics I do think differently....if they pump your abdomen with gas to make more ruin for surgery ....how the bleep does it get in your digestive tract to be expelled by farting? I've had lap surgery and had little pain with gas settling in shoulders...just had to walk/move for the body to make it disapate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could eat the singles off the roof right now. Thanks in advance, Elaine Hi Elaine! I haven't had my surgery yet, but I figure you'll be pretty tired for that first week after surgery. My main concern would be lifting your grandbabies, as I think you're not allowed to lift more than 10lbs for awhile. Also, you need to be able to get extra rest to heal. My daughter will be 3 on Tuesday, and when my husband's at work, my parents are going to watch her for the first week after my surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sore and very tired. Everyone will have a different reaction to surgery but I know there is no way I could watch my kids alone the week of surgery. I will be praying for a quick and healthy recovery for you. As far as hunger; I will get hungry a few times a day. 3 oz of Protein Shake or 2 spoon fulls of Soup or pudding and I overly full. I don't really want to eat anything. It will get will better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
