10 days post op questions



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! So I'm 10 days post op, down 13 lbs, and have a few questions.

1. I get easily agitated and run out of breath faster than usual. Is this normal?

2. No matter what I drink or eat (liquids, Soup, pudding), I get heartburn and I'm constantly burping. Anyone else experience this? If so, how long did it last.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Super Bowl Sunday! Looking forward to everyone's response :)

Hey, the re flux feeling your getting is the gases from the surgery they will continue to be released through your body for another week or 2. The shortness of breath is due to that as well, you had major surgery your body is sore and is adjusting as well. If you still have that plastic tube that you were supposed to breath deep into at the hospital you can try doing that for a few extra days to see if that might help.

I will be three weeks post op on Tuesday. I had the exact same issues ~ the agitation, shortness of breath and the burping. Wondered if I would ever feel normal again! I promise you will. I feel better than I have in a very long time. Hang in there you should start feeling better soon. The agitation has been much better in the last day or two. For a while there everyone & everything annoyed me : )

      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.
