Day 4 post-op...feeling about 85 % normal!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Monday, March 24, day 2 and part of day 3 were the hardest for me. Got nauseated about 3 times, but since then I'm feeling better with each day. Today was the first day I felt a little hungry after smelling my husband's dinner cooking. This morning I had 1/2 cup of Tomato Soup and this evening I had 1/2 a can of fat free cream of chicken without the meat. It took me about 20 minutes to eat it & it was great. After about an hour I heated the rest and ate all of it too. I've been drinking 1/2 H20 &1/2 apple or crangrape juice. Which has been pretty easy to drink . I have also being taking teaspoons of a Protein supplement to try to get my protein in, although I haven't been able to get it all my protein just yet but hopeful to get it in. Know this might sound silly, but I felt I cheated because the Soup was so good and i couldn't tell if I was really full or if i was just being greedy. Nevertheless I'm Trying tto journal this journey as to keep me accountable to myself.

I am 4 days post op as well. I can only drink about an ounce of Water or my boost then I have to wait 15 minutes. Each day has gotten better. Walking has gotten easier. I am on boost shakes until I see my dr April 8th. I don't feel hunger at all and smelling food doesn't appeal to me either. I have to remind myself to drink.

      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.
