Just Discharged And Heading Back To The Er



Recommended Posts

I did a barium swallow this morning with about 6 big gulps of 2 different bariums. I thought that was already alot. Then i get back to.my room and ask for ice chips, no Water or ice in over 24hrs. The nurse comes back with a huge jug of ice water saying to do my best to get 4 small cups of water in. Basically just spit up a blood clot with blood....my hospital is an hour away...

Amazing how different each hospital is. The first day I had nothing but, the surgery and IV, Second day in the afternoon swallow test...had to wait in that radiology room for 30 minutes, back to my room and was given a medicine cup and 1 cup of ice chips and Water. Told to sip 1 medicine cup an hour. Later on nurse ordered me liquid dinner....SF Jello, chicken broth, tea, carnation instant Breakfast with skim milk. Next morning same stuff and out the door. I don't understand why they'd just give you Water then have you go home.

How long were you in the hospital? I sure hope you're doing ok.

      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.
