Fabulous February Post-Op's

While not enjoying what's been happening to my butt today, it's pretty wild to just absolutely not have an appetite....drinking the Water is driving me nuts, he wants you to get exactly 3 ounces an hour, no more, no less. I absolutely could drink it faster....trying to behave though.

Well I'm still here. I'm been in horrible pain and they can't get my heart rate down. Just went down for a CT scan to see if I have a leak, and started 2 antibiotics in case of infection. Right now doing the "what the hell did I do to myself" dance. It hurts so bad. Worse than my c sections. Hope you are all doing good. SoccerMomma (what's your first name?) I can't poop or fart yet either. Nothing in there to poop! How can they think an enema is gonna get anything out, there's nothing in there!!

I'm sorry, there's no excuse for not checking on you though. Take care of yourself! They do mean things if you can't fart!!!

I had surgery on Monday February 11th 2013!

I am 3 days post op, came home yesterday @ 4pm, & I am MISERABLE!!!! I regret doing the surgery with every inch of me, I am in so much pain, I can barely breathe! I sleep, that's all I do, that's how my body copes with pain is sleep. But it's uncomfortable, I'm having horrible nightmares, I've become anti social I don't want anyone to speak to me or text me or ANYTHING I just want everyone to back off! I don't drink much because as soon as I do I start burping and farting, I guess I'm just upset because they didn't regulate my pain at the hospital, the morphine drip did absolutely no justice, I didn't receive an ounce of relief until I got my percocets yesterday morning and even though I'm still so freaking uncomfortable I'm so MISERABLE I'm becoming emotional all I wanna do is cry and scream I regret this so bad. :'(

I rather be fat and have my comfort foods !

I hope when the pain subsides all these feelings go away I really don't want to regret this for the rest of my life. :'(

I wm having a lot of trouble as well. I am a week out and unable to take most of my lupus and antidepressant meds. It has been difficult, but has gotten a little better, I can sleep on my side a little now and am able to get more Water in, food has been really hard, I have no appetite, and I am supposed to be on meds and potassium and am having a difficult time dealing with how on earth to fit it all into my pouch. I just keep reminding myself of all the research I did and all my reasons for doing the surgery, and that I will eventually heal, feel better and get on the right path. I'm sorry you are so discouraged, I wish they would give me my percocette back....the pain is the worst thing and all the bloating. God bless and take care

At long last I am passing gas...please let me go home today!!!

So I've been on oral pain medications since early yesterday. About 20 minutes after I got a dose late this morning I got dizzy, queasy, clammy, thought I was going to puke and pass out. Got some Zofran which helped queasy a bit but still felt like hell for a couple hours....almost had to be the pain medication. Lord I hope I'm not one that dumps on every thing they eat....that would suck!!!

      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.
