It's very natural to regret it so soon after without complications but if you have had some that much amplify the feelings. It does get better and life gets easier. Stick with it and don't be so hard on yourself. You need to rest and drink /eat what you can when you can until your body heals. Good luck and I hope you are better soon x

I have a double kidney infection and complications with my spleen... Today my blood pressure was 90\45 I've never been that low so I'm very anxious...

Please focus on fluids....that's the most important thing right now for your kidneys and for your body to fight any infection. During the surgery your Spleen needs to be separated from your stomach. You said you lost some blood supply to the spleen? That shouldn't be a problem now, as the body has ways of compensating for this. When my spleen tore and bled, my surgeon patched it up and even though I will have scar at tissue there and that area is damaged, my spleen will work normal.

Also, search "splenic infarct" in this forum and you will find others that have gone thru what you are going thru. I think it will help you!

      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.
