2 Days Post Op...i Am Amazed!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Monday. Got home from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. This is late Wednesday night. I got in all of my Fluid, all of my Protein and walked for over an hour in the park this evening!! I don't know what I expected but it surely wasn't this. One of my friends, Jen in SoCal told me to get up ASAP and I did. I walked 16 laps around the floor the night of my surgery and eight the next morning before I left. I find it really hard to get up out of bed but other than that I feel great. :D

Very encouraging! I was told we have to stay in the hospital 2 nights minimum but, sounds like you were able to go home after 1 night and doing well. That's great!

Getting up and moving is definitely the key. I went home next day as well....of course I didn't do 16 laps but got up and moving...even before they removed the catheter. I'm not really a hospital type of gal

The gas is BEYOND my expectations! Anyone else??

2 months 5 days post op and I'm still gassy...nutritionist said its the stuff they use to make things sugar free. I stopped Crystal Light and gas subsided a lot. But the good thing is the gas let's u know that u don't have a bowel obstruction

      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.
