March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering on average how long it has taken everyone to have their first bowel movement after surgery?

I had my first bm day after surg...it was pretty watery but it counts!

Well it is just a UTI from the catheter. Antibiotics and something to help the pain and I am good to go. Lol easier said then done right at the moment.

Sooo .... I've poop'd 3lbs of junk and its still coming. I'm so surprised that the magnesium citrate doesn't have my tummy cramping and my Ass raw. I still haven't packed my bags and my surgery is in 10 hours.

My honey wants to get grown and sexy with me and bump and grind for the last time for a week or two but I'm absolutely afraid that I'll give him a gift that keeps on giving.... The runs!!!

Packing for my surgery right now.. just drunk my magnesium citrate. It didn't taste too bad until the last gulp and I almost vomited it all back up. Whew!

The Dr's office just called and changed my surgery from noon to 6am so now I'm trying to rethink my game plan but at least I don't have to go all day hungry.

Other then this.. just waiting for the "shits" to come on. My stomach has already started bubbling. LOL

Best of luck! :)

Cranialmalady thx for the encouragement. The diarrhea continues. I'm getting in enough Fluid but still working on Protein. The constant up & down to the toilet is exhausting & I'm not sleeping great. But I was able to walk around my parking lot today' date=' & even put my own socks on! I'm happy for all those doing so well. It gives me hope that I can get better.[/quote']

Bless your heart Gibby, I am in the same boat with pain etc. feeling better everyday but would love to be where most of the others are with the same surgery date. Very happy or those who are able to walk and eat last normally. Hang in there and I am always here for a good old fashion vent session!

Ok good...my incisions look really good and healthy. I've been kinda coating the area since surgery with neosporin to stop itching and to hopefully help with scarring. I figured the glue was going to come off eventually but I wasn't sure how I'm suppose to deal with it...it's my belly button incision and the one to the left of that. Both look good' date=' but I don't want to "encourage" the glue to come off...where can I get steri strips?[/quote']

I was going to ask if it was ok to use Neosporin...did your doc say it was ok?

My doctor put me on zofran' date=' use as needed. You just stick it under you tongue and it dissolves. Call your surgeons office tomorrow, see if they can call it into your pharmacy, it works really well. Good for us post opers![/quote']

My doctor have me a patch that goes behind your ear for nausea. Check on that...it's one less pill you have to take!

Pixie dust to Janel! How long to first BM? I'd laugh but it hurts. RNY 3/11 and I've had no BM' date=' just completely liquid explosive diarrhea, 5-10 times a day. I feel like the bottle of liquid colace my doctor sent me home with is mocking me![/quote']

Yeah it was pretty bad! Lol

      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.
