Sitting Pretty With A Teeny Tiny Tummy!



Recommended Posts

I am pleased to report all went well. I have been walking laps and feeling remarkably well. Hurt like crazy when I woke up but the pain meds kicked in. All good since.

Serious recommendation: INSIST ON NAUSEA MEDS! throughout the first day at least. Guy in room next to me sounds like he was not proactive and I am sitting here feeling great empathy fir him.

Best of luck to you all!!

Nausea meds MADE me immediately nauseated so I refused to take any more of them. I felt no surgery pain yet my roommate had pains that were an 8 on a scale from 1 to 10. It never ceases to amaze me how totally different we all are. Walking is the key after surgery and you can ALSO take Maalox Advanced or Mylanta Classic (cherry flavor) chewables. On the Mylanta, it says simethicone on the front of the box. It was recommended by my doctor to start taking these right away once I got home from the hospital. Different strokes for different folks, I'd say.

      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.
