post op diet

[determinedone 5]

I am 3 days out from my surgery. I drink an oz or more every 15 min. per my surgeon. I don't really feel full from my liquids. Does anyone else feel like this. Although I do have some sharp pains kinda going up my chest. I'm debating on if that's the gas or indigestion. Although it does not feel like heartburn.

I get those feelings also. I taking it as gas since I then feel I have to burp. Since I have no pain, I don't take any meds for it. Unfortunately I'm not sure I know what indigestion or heartburn feels like.

Oh my I am 4 days post op and I am having the same experience. Not sure if its gas , I've been taking gas x and no relief. I have just today began to belch which helps those chest pains and I also make sure I'm drinking standing up that also seems to help. Hope it helps you as well.

I'm four days post op and am having those pains you're talking about as well. Not to mention according to my scale, I've GAINED weight! I'm do freakish out about this to the point I wish I hadn't of done it.

That weight is probably Fluid. Don't worry about the scale at this point, concentrate on healing and I promise the weight will fall off!

The weight gain is from all the iv fluids... Totally normal and drops off after a week

Same here!!! I went under at 246lbs and weigh 250 now! Smh! I'm having MAJOR headaches! Anyone have headaches post op?

I have not had any headaches nor have I gained weight. Can anyone really describe the 'full' feeling we should have afterwards on our liquid diet? Like I don't get a 'stuffed' feeling like I would before surgery.

Yes, I have had them. Today was my first day of relief. Praying no headache tmrw as well.

[Bsb1012 2]

I prepared for the headaches. I used to drink a lot of Diet Coke per op and knew after surgery if I didn't have caffeine I would die! I bought Crystal Light Energy and no headaches.

You probably should have slowly winged yourself off of the caffeine before your preop diet. I know every doctor is different, on my postop instructions he said NO caffeine.

After this healing phase is over, I'm sure you will love it. It will all go back to normal. Instead of us eating to hored food we will eat slow and pick at our food like kids do and enjoy the flavor of our food.

Idk if you are being given anything for nausea or not, but I was given Zofran religiously until my release from the hospital. My headaches went away when that medicine finally wore off. Apparently, it's a side effect...I didn't know, though and didn't actually connect the two until I took one the next day and got a horrible headache.

That was just my experience, like I said, I don't know if you're on anything for that or not...just something to consider, if you are. Congrats on your surgery!

I'm three days post op and I'm starting to get that flu feeling. I'm trying to get w enough Fluid in. Makes me feel better that others are feeling the same way. I'm hoping my chronic Migraine can stay at bet until I can introduce more foods

Thank you all for the feedback...i must say after a night of headaches and chills I'm finally starting to feel better i sipped Water and it seemed to have made it go away. i wasn't sure if i was dehydrated as i wasn't much of caffeine drinker. i'm just trying to figure out listening to my body. After ignoring it for so long...it's a new experience thats for sure!
