feeling not so great...



Recommended Posts

My surgery was Tuesday August 6th...I really hope I shouldn't be feeling great right now because I most certainly an not!! I am still sore...my back, neck, shoulders and arms hurt I assume due to the gas...I am tired because the pain meds they precribed to me allow me to sleep for about two hours at a time so I feel exhausted...my stomach feels sooo bloated...I feel like I'm whining but some ppl on here seem like all is great already...I'm not sure when exactly they expect me to be getting all my Protein in...I can barely get half a shake down right now...ugh...opinions please???

Get the chew-able gas ex tablets, and walk as much as you can.

None of you are alone. I had my surgery on the 6th too. It has been so painful and miserable. It's not even the pain, it's the insult to injury. My personal favorite is the need to walk combing with the gross output and then the limited range of motion. I've done a lot of thinking and regretting but as I look at the victories posted in the forum, I get my hope back and as each day is less painful and less nauseous, I get more positive about it.

As to the original question, they really don't while you're on Clear Liquids. Just take all your Vitamins and drink as much Protein as you can

      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.
