Recommended Posts

I haven't drank Water in two full days.. and let alone put anything in my mouth other than my toothbrush. I am craving ice. Tomorrow morning is my xray and leak test and supposedly I can eat if all is well. The biggest problem since surgery is my heart rate.. and blood pressure.. hmm..but I don't feel anything. I do however get nauseous when I walk..and I hate this cathider lol I know I spelt it wrong. But who cares. Lol its annoying I don't even feel the pee coming out.. and they did it during the surgery

Hang in there...this was the toughest time for me too... not drinking, feeling nauseous and vomitting, and the pain meds made me so agitated! Just breathe, try to sleep and stay focused on positive thoughts for your leak test tomorrow! You got this!!

You seem to be in good spirits. That's a plus. I was dry heaving for two days. I couldn't even put anything in my mouth if I wanted to. I couldn't even take one sip of Water. SMH It's good you have a catheter because I couldn't pee. But when I started to dry heave and gag. There was nothng to vomit but bile and I would wet the bed. Then I would call for the nurse who never came. I was a big cry baby now that I think about it. I didn't have any pain just nausea and dry heaves. LOL

Get some rest you will need it.

I had my surgery last Tuesday the 14th. It was a life changing experience! Never had surgery so I was a nervous wreck. Woke up in a little pain and was not able to have Water for a whole day. My hospital roommate wet a rag for me and I sucked on the rag all nite to put moisture in my mouth lol or I wasn't going to make it.

      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.
