Just had surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi every one my name is Diana and I just had surgery 15 days ago. Yesterday had my doctor mail me my blood work results and within them my alt/spgp was high which is a liver enzyme. I am just wondering if anyone has had anything like this come back Right after surgery cause the range it was in was way above the normal range and before surgery everything was great. Also yesterday tried to introduce a new food that I haven't are since surgery and for the first time was on the toliet and dry heaving feeling like something was sitting in my chest. Anyone can give any type of advice I would appreciate it

Haven't went to the Dr yet but I know the heavy feeling in the chest. Not sure how to relieve it. For me it just seems to go away.

I understand that heavy feeling but like you haven't done with the doctor about it yet but it does seem to go away and never so bad I can't stand it. So how long since your surgery.?

      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.
