I I just had RnY on Monday 7/30, and everything went great for the most part. I'm up walking around, sipping my Clear Liquids but the hiccups, burps and general soreness, is driving me crazy. I'm hoping that clears up soon but what is of concern is my constant exhaustion.

You just had surgery 3 days ago, this is normal. You will be for the fist 1-2 weeks depending how long it takes your body to get the anesthesia out of your system. Rest while you can now in between your walking. It will go away. Congrats btw!!

I haven't had my surgery yet (Aug 15th!!!!) But from what I heard the severe drop in calories is what is so exhausting. Make sure you are drinking your Protein shakes. They will be your best friend. Good luck!!!

I'm starting my 4th week post op. The first few weeks you're taking pain meds, and healing so it's natural for your body to want to rest. Takes it's cue.....take the naps and rest. Then while you're awake walk, walk, walk so the gas used leaves your system. Hiccups can be a sign that you're taking things in too fast...smaller sips should help. I still get them occassionally myself.

Congrats and welcome to the losing side.

I figured the anesthesia has all but left my system at this point. I was on a Diludid PCA pump the day of surgery which became my best friend, however I pretty much only used it for the first day. That being said, I received IV tylenol during my stay and the most that I'm using now at home is children's tylenol drops for discomfort. I can't seem to shake the exhausted feeling and constant dragging I feel, walking helps some but I get so tired all I want to do is sleep, figured this is due to the near zero caloric intake. But what is slightly worrisome is this feeling of being febrile. I know I'm not, at least thats what the thermometer tells me but I have all the physical sensations of having a fever. I've got the the hydration aspect down and figured if I drink the Protein waters at the same time that should kill 2 birds with one stone right?

You need potassium so you won't dehydrate and take your Bariatric Vitamins Plus Your Protein Shake approx 70 grams a day we are told. To those that can't stomach the shakes :-( always get the strongest chocolate one and use a Blender/Mixer/Ninga delicious.. Don't forget whey Protein Isolate (no other) Good Luck...Mare :-)

I use iso-pure... It's a flavored water that comes in 20oz bottles that also has 40g of protien so what I do is since for week 1 protien isn't a big concern as hydration I pour the Isopure into a big 48 oz bottle and dilute it with Water to reach the top. Then I add Decaf coffe or tea through the day plus I also do shaved ice with sugar free syrup...it's not hard to do, just listen to your body I'm learning to become my new mantra

      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.
