Hmm Questions And Musings



Recommended Posts

K so questions if any of you have had the surgery or thoughts about post op. ok so I love to cook for people. As odd as this sounds I love having peeps over and watching them crack into a fresh vanilla creme brûlée. I am a little scared that I will lose my passion for cooking. Weird I know but /shrug well anyway....

Ok so next, have you guys told anyone at work? I have not because my boss is very type a personality and if he is against it I would t have got the time off. I mean, I am sure everyone will notice soon, the nurses live hanging out with me, I'm guessing because I help out and try to make their job easier.

Ok so I know this is stupid but I enjoy having a beer once in a while and I know that after a whole post op a beer it's the end of the world but har any I you tried it?

Ok bowel stuff is mildly concerning because with my job, I cant just go hey don't die yet I gotta poo. So I Guess I will just have to be careful what I eat. Can we take anti diahrea meds post op?

Weight lifting is my last question. I am really getting into the weight lifting and can't wait to drop off the weight and see what muscles lie under there! My question for you is, how soon after surgery can we start lifting?

Ok done with all my questions now take care guys!

I love to cook and I still cook for my hubby. I actually don't want what I cool but I still love doing it!!

I don't work but if you think it will cause problems at work then maybe be careful who you tell or tell them after you have your surgery that way they know what's going on if you are having tummy issues.

My dr said that everyone is different with alcohol. I haven't tried yet but I have heard of several people who drink a beer every now and then and are fine. The only thing is, is that you need to find out how far post op you should be before trying. I am also a beer drinker so I would like to know too! ;)

I actually haven't had an issue with diarrhea. Everyone is different though. My bowel functions really haven't changed much.

I was told that at 4 weeks post of I could start lifting weights as long as it didn't make my stomach Hurt and as long as I wasn't in any pain.

      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.
