Any September surgeries out there

I've been walking like crazy...I've burped a ton though

I had surgery 09/16 @ 10:00 CST and didn't start passing gas until today 09/18. It makes you feel better, so hopefully it will start soon. My husband is acting like a drill sergeant and he makes me walk, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm trying to be as independent as I can. I still make my son's meals and cups, but since he is over 10 lbs I can't pick him up for 3 weeks :( I walk around the house pretty good.

Hey guys!! Nervous wreck here. Monday I started to have foot pain' date=' so Tuesday I saw the dr and thought it was gout, blood work done. By end of day swelling was huge. She thought I had a blood clot so went for a doppler this morning, got blood results which sed rate was sky high. Was called back to hospital for more test. Now I am waiting to go to specialist on Monday. They want me to take aspirin but only two days cause Friday is last day for blood thinners. Please say a little prayer that he is gonna release me for surgery on the 27th.[/quote']

sending prayers your way...

I haven't farted or had a bm either. Very worried bc i am soo tender that I am not sure how I can. Got out of the hospital today and boy was that crazy. Had to go around town looking for a pharmacy that actually had roxicodone and would supply for my insurance. Some tears were shed. Im ok now but the meds don't seem to last the full four hours in between. Tummy very swollen. Crossing my fingers that I can get back to work as scheduled.

I've had a BM. My surgeon told me he'd let me go home if I farted and literally 10 minutes later I thought I had to fart but it was more LOL (TMI). Now they have to see if I'm tolerating the liquids but I'm hoping they let me go. I'm getting frustrated.

I have the urge to want to throw up today, I really hope I don't, because I heard it was super painful.

I've thrown up twice and it's not fun at all. Hurts like a bitch. They keep telling me to "listen to the pouch" and not to push it.

I find it weird I have 4 holes and a hole for a drainage tube. They are all on my lower stomach. From pictures it looks like 5 holes in the shape of a V. Wonder why mine are different.

I keep asking them, which do you want damn it?! It's basically impossible right now for me to get 64oz of Water and 80 grams of Protein in. I'm walking great and I'm finally starting to not feel so full.

      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.
