To The Emergency Room I Go...



Recommended Posts

Well I had my surgery on 7/24/12 and a few days after I felt great despite the gas. About the 6th day post-op I started feeling very fatigued, to the point I could barely get up. I mentioned to the doctor that I had dark tarry stool and they ran some test and said I was better then when I was there surgery day.

Well early this morning I began to throw up blood and my stool was bloody red. I called them and they said to get to the ER as fast as I can.

I am very very fatigued, cloudy headed and to be honest with you regretting this decision. I wanted to do this to better my life for my kids and myself. Now all I can think about is if they will be able to manage life without a father.

I hope this is something they can quickly diagnose and resolve and I am back to normal, my fear is they had a chance to diagnose originally but did not so they don't know what's going on.

Obviously this surgery isn't 100% and it shouldn't be perceived as so, I guess that's where I was wrong. All I could see was a healthier me that I stopped considering the possibilities of major issues. I don't want to live my life weak and wiltered like this. It's the complete opposite reason for me doing this.

Oh noooo, I hope everything goes OK for you. When you mentioned that your poop was tarry and black, my first thought was that you were still bleeding or bleeding from something. Please don't regret the surgery because you can't turn back. Think positive and you will get over this bump and continue to be healthy. Some of us do have set-backs but it will only make you stronger. Look forward to running around with your kids and having fun... it will be here soon enough for you !!!! Get well soon !!!

      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.
