my surgery was yesterday today a bowel obstruction



Recommended Posts

Bummer, went for my upper GI this morning and have a kink in my bowel (a small bowel obstruction), so no liquids, no ice, no nothing for me today. Bummed, but ok. I'm walking a lot, went for my third 45 minute walk today and started burping. :) that's a great sign. We'll try again tomorrow with the GI. Wish me luck!

Oh no... I know the discouragement and it's easy to start thinking "what have I done to myself?" I was readmitted to the hospital 2 days after getting out for pneumonia. Once I got past that, I've had no complications or anything.

Great job on the walking -- it will certainly help you feel better soon.

Best wishes on a clean pass through tomorrow!

      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.
