Day 2, not so good, but day 3 is looking better



Recommended Posts

Surgery was done on Wednesday so yesterday was my first full day. No good. I had TERRIBLE gas and nausea. Was up peeing ALL night which was probably good being that it forced me out of my bed. Today was MUCH better. Nausea is gone, gas is slowly but surely starting to come out. Yesterday I said "what the f*ck did I do to myself". Had total regrets immediately. But as I said, today is so much better and I'm on my way to good health!

I so hear what you are saying! My surgery was a week before you! I had to be re-admitted on Sunday and was released this past Tuesday for dehydration. I was having terrible nauseousness and couldn't keep anything down. Yesterday I was able to get some Protein in with the Isopure drinks. Wow, getting the protein in really helped me to start feeling better. Loving that every day is getting better and better! Take care!

I am with you on this too!. Had surgery Monday and thought I was going to die. The gas pains were terrible and I keep questioning myself what I have I done! Tuesday was not much better the gas just wuold not escape and the nauseousness was still there. But, by Wed I went home and started feeling better. Hang in there you are not alone. Im now day 4 days out and its much better.

I just got back from a walk and feel a whole lot better (1 mile VERY SLOW). I am starving though, I had to send my family out to eat so they wouldn't eat in front of me. I'm really looking forward to full liquids, I know a shake would help me feel satisfied.

      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.
