Surgery done....little pain lots of nausea



Recommended Posts

Surgery with Dr. Lopez so far so good. Lucked out with a great roommate and lots of support from my coordinator. MiDoctor hospital is very, very clean and hospitable. My biggest problem is nausea, but it also has to do with the fact that I'm a revision surgery client. The nurses are really helpful and give m nausea medication frequently, but I try to walk every hr to help with the digestion. The first night I won't lie, I questioned why I did this, but I've got to stay focus on my goals.

Glad everything went okay but sorry about the nausea! I still remember feeling that "OMIGOD what have I done" feeling when I was so sick after surgery for my LapBand and I sure hope that passes soon! You are up and walking and that is awesome! Congratulations. :)

The nausea Seems to have subsided. Resting in my room at the Marriott. Kinda cold but I turned up the heat in the room and I have heating pads. Someone had recommended on this forum and I brought it just in case.....thank God I did. Looking forward to going home to spend some time with my children and husband

      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.
