Surgery was on the 13th



Recommended Posts

Well my surgery was on Wednesday and I spent two days in the hospital. I had an easy time in the hospital thanks to the pain meds. I was discharged yesterday afternoon and I have been in pain ever since. I am walking and sipping Water, Powerade zero, and Protein Shakes. I am trying to eat when I can but I am not hungry. My gas pain is killing me along with breathing in deep. I also have the hiccups and burping pain. I am miserable right now. Hopefully this pain will pass soon. I am still taking my pain pills but they make me dizzy. Anyone having these same isssues?

Yes! I had mine Wednesday. Came home Thursday. Today I finally started feeling less pain until today I was crying with pain. Still on meds but once I started passing the gas I started to feel much better. Walking helps but I'm having a hard time getting all the liquids and Protein down as well.

Had my surgery the 13th as well. I'm having issue, I keep coughing trying to get some phlegm out it's killing me! I use a pillow push against the wall to cough but it's annoying and painful. Mucus is clear and no fever. Anyone else have this?

For the gas Anis tea is the best and natural!!

I had to use my inhaler for the first two days. I felt like I couldn't breathe.

      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.
