Back In The Hospital Again



Recommended Posts

Sorry I keep forgeting my itouch isn't working,and I'm trying to reply.

I'm sorry your having problems. I hope soon you will be feeling better. I know it must be horrible,but even though I didn't have the gastric bypass yet. I know how you feel,because with my last pregnancy I ran into complication so of course no one but you won't understand,and you don't wanna hear crap. I had swollen feet for over 1 week,and I had a nurse in the house to watch over me. I couldn't walk my feet were like football so I can understand. I was in pain,and even had to call my mother to come cook for me. I can tell you that I feel things will get better soon. It will take time but you will be fine in the long run. I took me like a month for me to bond with my now 2 year old. I look at my baby,and say "it was worth having you".. I went threw a blood transfusion,swollen feet,bleeding in the incision,my body got swollen also. I never ever had blood pressure,but my pressure was high for a while. I was in bad shape. Sending you hugs.

I am 4 weeks out last Friday. I can honestly say that I haven't really felt great since day one after surgery. Last night I developed pain in chest. It was horrible and it continued every time I tried to eat anything or lay down. Called doc to said he thought something was stuck in pouch or opening. Told me to get meat tenderizer and warm Water and SIP for a hour 6 oz. I didn't even get in 15 mins before started vomiting badly. Now I feel weak and dehydrated. I'm still wondering what have I done to myself. On the up side, if there is one....I have lost 42 pounds since I left the hospital.

This sounds very similar to the problems im having. A bit of buyers remorse on my end

      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.
