Hello Fellow Gentlemen,

How long after surgery did you feel foggy, out-of-it, etc?

Thanks!

Hello Fellow Gentlemen,

ten minutes..... really. You come out of it quick and are fairly alert and start mobility and walking right off. You will be tired and easily drift off to sleep for awhile but while awake, you shouldn't be in a fog. ;)

I was out of it day of surgery only. You get really tired week one. Start feeling better week 2. Back to normal energy week 3-4.

I was outpatient, so I think they have a bit of a different level of anesthesia for outpatient vs knowing you are going to be in a hospital for a spell.

I was discharged at noon and back to my hotel for a 4 hour nap. Woke up still a little foggy, but took my wife out to dinner and then walked around for a while. I was in Vegas (baby!) so I sat down for a few hands of blackjack, so I was clear enough to win about $40. The next morning I took what only could be described as the most incredible shower of my life. Felt like I rinsed off all the fog and then I was off to the races. Walked no less than 5 miles all around Vegas.

The side effects from anesthesia can last quite awhile and vary from person to person. Plus you add the shock to your system from limited nutritional intake. I was in a fog for about a week after surgery and it got better with every walk I took.

      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.
