I'm falling apart help!



Recommended Posts

Everything relating to my surgery is great.

We just moved into a new house and I'm a giant... I'm 6 7' so I'm really tall. The new house has 3 bars in it and one of them is the perfect height for me to bump my hip into the corner of it. I did just that.

Last week I had a back spasm and had to go to urgent care. They gave me a non nsid shot.

I think I'm going to go back tonight because I can't get the pain in my hip to go away. I know its just from me hitting the corner of the bar. I'm also dealing with mild back pain that is almost gone.

Any suggestions on prescriptions that would help with the pain that would be safe for me to take?

The Dr. at the urgent care place was scared to prescribe anything because she isn't too familiar with gastric sleeve. She told me I needed to see a surgeon. blah.

I'm 31. I shouldn't be falling apart at this age.

They gave me Tylenol 3, flexerill and a shot of something that starts with a T. She said it was a strong anti inflammatory and since it was a shot and goes in my hip and bypasses the stomach it would be okay. She said it will take about 72 hours for the body to fully absorb it. She felt around on my hip and said I have a bruised bone. When she touched the right spot I was screaming lol.

Just got home and its already to a tolerable level. I'm waiting on the pharmacy to get done with my scripts and I think I'm going to retire early tonight and sleep.

      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.
