Had my surgery September 24th



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on September 24th with Dr Baranov at Saratoga Hospital. I've been home now for 2days and feeling great.

My recovery has been easy, not too much pain and just getting to know the limits of my new pouch.

I'm drinking/sipping Water, taking in 1-2oz of Protein Shake 3 times a day and walking at least 30 minutes 2 times per day.

I feel fantastic and can't wait for more days to come. My husband, my son and my parents have been a big part of this journey and I think because of their support I'm doing so well.

I also had my surgery Sept 24th! I'm still amazed at how quickly I was able to get up walking around with no pain. I'm still on Clear Liquids for 2 more days but taking them in well and no nausea thus far.

Best of luck with your journey!

Wow, I'm impressed you are having shakes the first week! My surgeon only allows clear liquid for 7 days. Which for me is Isopure and Water. Actually got sick off the isopure and had to stop. Now I'm just having water and fat free chicken broth. Start 2nd week tomorrow and can't wait to have a shake! 2nd week is full liquids.

      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.
