My first post....Surgery Jan 6th



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Monday Jn. 6th - I came home today and I'm surprised how good I feel. Just wanted to share because I know I had some fear and if this reassures anyone that's a good thing! Now the fun. Engines as I figure my food plan out.

Today is day 3 post surgery. I got to start full liquids! Yay! Had yogurt for Breakfast, about 2 oz Protein Shake for lunch and some really yummy potato Soup that I put thru the blender for dinner. I have pain in my left side, which I understand is normal. My BP was a little high this morning, but my meds got changed after the surgery and I doubt they are in my system good. All in all, I think I am doing pretty good. I haven't gotten all my fluids in today. The eating in between has thrown me off. I will concentrate on liquids this evening and do better tomorrow. When does the weight loss start? Lol! I know I am not eating much and just seems the scale would start moving a little!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm still trying to figure this site out. Can someone tell me how to set the ticker up?

I am closing out my first week post up nd it has mostly been successful. I am able to et without problems and I've found if I plan my day out. Factoring in a minimum of my 60 grams of Protein and set my 64 oz of Water out it helps me reach the two most important goals of the day.

For me with iPad, under My Surgery, you will see hour screen eg. My name "Hi Kata13". Click on that and you will see ticker as an option.

If you are on a computer you go up to your user name in the upper right corner and hit the settings button (looks like a gear) and in that drop down menu it has a My TIckers button

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
