Had surgery yesterday!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery yesterday at 3 in the afternoon with dr. Ramos Kelly in TJ Mexico. He is amazing and his nurses are great too. However the language barrier is an issue with the nurses. I have never posted on here but I've been reading books worth of post on this site. And I figured since now I was sleeved, I should. The pain is terrible. I cry and scream with how bad it hurts, I know other people said the opposite but idk shy mine is so horrible. I tried to walk but I throw up when I walk. Pray for me please that this horrible pain will go away. Oh, and I am only 19.

I was sleeved 6/25 and the pain was bad for me too . Hang in there, day 2 is much better! Ask for nausea medicine.

Hang in there. It gets better. The first night I was home I thought I was going to die from pain but the next day it was like a miracle n it all went away. I only spent one night at the hospital, which was the day of my surgery.

How did y'all deal with getting up and down to not feel like you are straining your stomach? Thank you for all the support :) I already feel a little better this morning.

      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.
