August Surgery List complete



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery August 27, 2013, and I'm still in the hospital!!!! I now had a total of 3 surgeries and the last one left me with 2 drainage tubes in my stomach and barely able to walk. The pain I have experienced is unbearable and my body underwent a battle that I was not expecting. I do truly pray of you are much better and I eventually catchup. ..

OMG...what happened, are you ok now...? *HUGS*

After my gastric bypass, 3days later my intestine erupted, that led to surgery#2. 2 days after that, my heart rate was too fast and I develope a temp of 103. Which led to surgery#3. I was left with 2 drainage tubes and crippling pain!!!! Now I am weak, pain and just frustration... I want to just feel better... this has been a terrible experience.

I'm doing good, if I had a good back n knees :( but stomach in. doing ok.. I'm down 52# but dr. thinks its should be in the 60s but oh well i'm doing as best as my mind will let me. Lol. I have a hard time with to many carbs n then its to little calories. or to many calories n not much carbs. Its hard to balance them. I average about 2# a week. Their goal is for me to lose 30# at next visit in feb. So we will see, :/

      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.
