Body cramping ad soreness



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am currently 13days post-op I had been felling great right after surgery and actually up until Sunday. I came back to work yesterday and my body was in shock, I had a mild headache and when I got home I put my feet up and I realized how sore my thighs and calfs were. Then I went to lay down to go to bed and my feet started cramping up. Is anyone else having this issue?

Please share....

Me too, me too! I'm really achy & I got my 1st headache yesterday! My hubby says it's dehydration & the lack of Protein....My surgeon is on vacation this week but, if it gets to the point that I can't handle it, I will go to the ER!

I hope you feel better soon!

I was thinking the issue was maybe more lack of Protein, I actually cheated and had me a poched egg white for Breakfast yesterday and today and I can tell the difference today. I do feel a little better far as the cramping. Tryinf to make sure that I'm getting in my fluids with the Isopure no sugar no carb drink to kinda help me out. I know it's still not much but it's something.

I called my NUT and she told me

- Fluids

- Protein

- Vitamins

To make sure to try and get them in that way because I get sick off the protien shakes and the chicken noodle flavor protein. OMG my stomach can't take it. I start the pureed phase tomorrow and I CAN NOT WAIT.....

Oh that's good! You will feel much better with some substance that isn't so darn sweet!

      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.
