My journey so far....



Recommended Posts

Arnold, MD - My GBP surgery was Wednesday 7/30 The surgery was 4 hrs and my recovery was 2 1/2 hrs. I do not remember being wheeled to surgery and I have no memory of recovery at all. I just remember sitting up in bed in my room. I had no pain just feeling sore and bruised my pain meds work great. I came home Friday I feel very tired. I have been walking around the house to relieve the gas. Tomorrow I will take a walk in the morning. I have my first post-op appt Wednesday 8/7 my dr is wonderful and so was the hospital. I would highly recommend him. So far this journey has been great. I love reading all the forums and learning new things on this site.

      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.
