December Surgeries!?!?!?



Recommended Posts

Finally going home from the hospital. My surgery was yesterday and was successful. Still got some pain on my abdomen but the liquid pain meds are helping a lot. I wasn't able to keep anything down last night but did somewhat well for Breakfast, I hope it gets easier! Praying for y'all Dec surgeries and wishing you best of luck. Btw, I did the 2 day Protein liquid diet and last 10 pounds when they weighed me before surgery! Exciting!!!!

Had my pre-op appointment today which included checking in with the hospital, paying the rest of my expenses, and pre-admit testing including ekg, lung xray, blood work, and urine sample. 37 days smoke free! Diet starts in two days. Pardon my language, but s**t just got real!

Day 2 after surgery. I'll be in the hospital at least until tomorrow afternoon.

Things didn't go exactly as planned...they got 4 holes poles in me and decided because of my anatomy they had to revert to an open rny. I'm in a lot of pIn tonight from the muscles and all being cut, but I have no gas pains.

I was doing really well up until this evening but now the pain is crazy bad. They have upped feh delodid and Tylenol. I'm hoping tonight is the worse of it.

More later or tomorrow.

Hi. I am new to this but my date is Dec 17 after a 6 month program. I just started the 2 week pre-op Protein Shakes. It has been a tough day with that, my head is filling with doubts.

Things didn't go exactly as planned for me either. .. I was to have my gall bladder removed during my sleeve surgery but when they got in they couldn't get all the stones so they closed me back up after 2 hours and now I got to see another surgeon for the stone's. ...so I sit in uncertainty and in pain the pain I should be feeling from my sleeve but no its from my gall bladder

      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.
