A few hours post op!



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm approximately 5 hours Post Op in Tijuana. Dr. Venezuela was my surgeon with MexicoBariatricClinic.

I'm feeling pretty good. I've got some pain in my left shoulder area, which was to be expected. My throat is a little 'annoying' from the intubation, but definitely not intolerable. A LITTLE bit of Gas pains but not too bad. (I put in a Gas X strip as soon as I got back to my room). I've been up walking a few times already. Some of the meds make me a little nauseas if I move too fast but other than that, I'm great and could NOT be happier.

The care I have received here has been phenomenal! The entire process from my arrival in San Diego and meeting with my driver to this point has been fantastic! I am SO very happy that I made this decision!

This is me Post Op! :)

      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.
