Had surgery on Thursday



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Thursday and came home yesterday evening. I feel way better than I expected, just sore throughout my whole body. My incisions don't hurt much unless I accidentally bump them on something. I ate a few bites of cottage cheese and some pudding last night and it went down with no problem. Still sticking to mostly fluids. My throat is a little sore from anesthesia tube but overall I feel good. Gonna attempt a hot shower shortly hoping it will help with the soreness some. So happy to be finished with the surgery part and ready to move on....

I feel much better than I expected I would. Yesterday was kind of tough with the soreness, but it already fading. I have noticed when I try to eat pudding or something close in consistency I get hiccups. I am assuming that is a sign that I've eaten too fast.

All the best. I had surgery Thursday too, and I am now t able to get 60 oz of liquid down. I do feel a little better each day, but this is tough physically and emotionally. You sound really good, that is inspiring!

Hiccups can be a soft stop signal for some people. I too had to slow down. I still have to slow down eight months out. Stop signals for some people can be: a hiccup, a sigh, a burp. The slower you go the more able you are to notice it. You're doing great!!

      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.
