How many days until...



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out so I'll answer what I can...

I'm still in a recliner and am planning on being there for another 2 weeks probably.

I am able to get in my 64 oz and 70 g Protein now. I was able to probably as of day 9 or 10.

The gas pains left as of day 6/first bm (sorry tmi) BUT i am still having active gas creation at both ends (very embarrassing since i've been at work all week in a quiet cubicle setting)

Get up in the night to do what? Bathroom or just walk? I haven't gotten up at all but I also was using pain meds immediately before bed up til a day or two ago which knocks me out. I've been having trouble getting up in the morning.

Good luck to you in your recovery!

I had heartburn at first when laying flat. I was okay by day 4 or so.

10 days out and I am still struggling with getting more than 40 oz or so of Protein.

Gas pains were gone by day 3.

Slept through the night after 3 or 4 days.

You no longer slept in a recliner?
You were able to get in your full 64oz and 70g Protein?
The gas pains left completely?
You could sleep through the night without getting up?

I slept in my bed flat day four, I got over the gas pain after fiveish days, I still do not get in the right liquid or food, ( today meal four bites of tuna and three multi grain crackers one Gatorade small size and 3 ounces tea and a cup of coffee) I slept all night day four when I came home from hospital. I slept for three days besides getting up a couple times to sip because my husband made me.

      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.
