Post Op March 2014



Recommended Posts

Yeah it seems normal to me. I think once the swelling internally goes away you can fit a bit more in. I can get down two ounces in 15 mins now easily but it fills me up.

Good to know, I was scared I stretched my pouch or something lol

Hi everyone

I had Omega loop gastric bypass surgery yesterday. Keyhole thank god. It's a less dangerous procedure to the RNY and I am glad my surgeon chose this for me. You can do some looking at http://clos.net I am 2nd day in hospital 2nd night climbing walls with boredom. I feel good enough to go home but have to wait for the drain to come out tomorrow. So it's all good so far

My husband and myself had our RNY the 25th we get to go home today. I think the gas pains have been the worst. I'm ready to go home and take a real shower.

I took a pic of us yesterday, 24 hours after surgery. I posted in the pre-op thread but will post here also. ... even though it keeps coming in upside down. Lol

He is down 40 lbs and me 13lbs.

Post op 3 days now... Feeling pretty good. Yesterday had alot of gas under rib cage but much better this morning! I have to go

Back to dr tomorrow to get my drain taken out. Not looking forward to that 3.5 hour drive each way. Coming home was rough now I get to make the round trip in one day. Yeah me!!!! Oh well it's all worth it. My daughter asked if I'd stepped on the scale yet and I said no! I'm not going to be one if those that fixates on the scale.. Good to see everyone is in positive spirits and feeling good... God Bless us all and keep us strong ????

I would have loved to stay in the hotel but my dad is 91 and he lives with me and I take care of him so I had to get home. It's hard to get someone to come into the house to help that he likes. Lol. I would have felt so guilty I couldn't stand it.

      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.
