Seven Days Post Op



Recommended Posts

I thank God for the healing in my body!! Today was my first day back to work . And my only complaint is I cant stand for nothing to touch my stomach . It is very senative on top. Is any one else having that issues? I'm still struggling on getting 60 oz of Protein down and 60 oz of other fluids . I read some where that what fluids you get down today effects how you feel tomorrow. So I just keep pushing!!!!

Congratulations on getting back to work so soon! I am 12 days post op and my "big" incision is still really sore, so I think that's prob normal.

Thanks!! Oh I'm sorry to hear that my incisions are healing well . I think the sensitivity will eventually go away.

I am two weeks out. Returned to work yesterday. Doing great. I understand what you mean by not wanting things to touch incisions. It gets better pretty quick. mine are just itching now. YOu sound like you are recovering well. the best way I get my 60 oz Protein in is the unflavored Unjury in Decaf coffee 2x a day and Soup 1x a day.

That's great!! Where did you buy the unflavored injury? What else do you eat besides the soup?

I'm using the Unjury chicken flavor and love it but going to try the unflavored now. I'm 7 days post op and struggling to get enough Protein cuz I'm sick of the sweet flavors. My incision areas are sensitive as well and starting to itch. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but I still hit these walls of exhaustion on a daily basis that are tough! Best of luck to you!

I've heard about Unjury but not sure where I can purchase it. But I do cream Soups per my Dr of course you might want to try that. Thank God for hope. I do believe that there are better day ahead. Wishing you the best !!!!!!

I've only tried the chocolate Splendor and it mixed up TERRIBLY. My drink was half clumps so I'm not a big fan of unjury based on my experience' date=' but this is where you can order it.[/quote']

Okay thanks

      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.
