hospitalized again.....



Recommended Posts

What I thought was the stomach flu, which I had since Friday, landed me in the ER this morning. After testing and much pain, the verdict is my gallbladder has to come out. So ironic because my doc had me on medication to prevent this. Apparently, it wasn't doing it's job. So, I had surgery this afternoon and am in quite a lot of pain right now, but hopefully will get to go home tomorrow.

When I had my gallbladder out I was symptomatic and in the ER like you. I definitely learned to listen to my body. My surgeon gave me a recovery time of 2 weeks. It actually took me 3 weeks. I find i heal and rehabilitate a little slower than most. But that's ok...we are all unique both inside and out right? Don't push to much. A pillow on my tummy was my best friend for a bit. For when you sneeze or support or to protect yourself from your little one who is use to flying right into your arms. You will be feeling better in no time!!!

      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.
