Surgery was March 14th!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone ,

My surgery was March 14th, everything is going fine so far. I have been a little sore but it is getting better everyday. There is also some bruising around the small incisions, can't wait for those to fade. I have been walking 15-20 mins. a day this seems to help with the soreness. So far the liquids have taken care of any hunger.

I still seem to have moments when I can't believe the surgery is over. I feel like this is a new begaining in my life one for the better! I go back to the doctor on Thursday for my one week check.

:clap2:

Thanks for listening and understanding,

Susan

Welcome Susan, I glad to hear you are doing well. I was suppose to have mine on 28th and they decided since I take coumadin they want me to do it at the hospital so that will be on the 29th, thats only one day difference thats not bad, some of them get put off for weeks.

I'M having mine done atTopeka, KS. by Dr. Dunshee, did you have your done? You have come to the right place for support and sharing.

Good luck with your continued healing.

      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.
