Surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I took Prilosec today for the gas, it was the best thing my Dr. Told me to take. I was able to take sips, of Water, and isopure.. I space it out.. I can really feel the fullness.. I walked today outside my house came back exhausted, and took a nap.. And my fever is gone and I didn't vomit today, slowly but surely.. I pray everyone else is ok.

Sorry for the delay in update, so here's my story so far. Surgery was on 9/24 at 115pm, I was in recovery by 4pm in horrible pain (had sleeve & hiatal hernia). Was given strong pain meds which helped. Once back in room was made to walk within 2 hours. Gas was horrible and spending night in hospital was sleepless and painful since I didn't ask for pain meds in time. Note to all ask for pain meds early. From there it all changed, after that horrible tasting leak test I was informed of no leaks and started on liquid diet. After drinking about 12 to 14 oz of various liquids over 4 hours I was cleared for release. YEAH. Went home took I pain pill and haven't looked back since, no pain, just some gas that gas x took care of. Was able to get 30g Protein Shake down on Friday and have increased to 60+ grams of Protein Shakes, sf Jello, and 28oz of Water down per day. I actually went back to work today (only 1/2 day) but its a start. Had buyers remorse Friday but as of today only bad effect is tiredness. Even normal bowel movements have returned. I'm down 5 pounds since pre-surgery and happy. Have a follow up tomorrow with my doctor. Just to all take it slow, walk as much as possible and take deep breaths. While the journey started out tough I'm looking forwards with positive thoughts.

      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.
