I feel great ! Day one post op!



Recommended Posts

I read so many scary stories on here about. But I stoped pain pills around 10 pm last night. And I really wanna go do something. A little gas pain but the gas x strips help. At the start I thought I was going to puke but it was just gas. I also want to add the entire staff was beyond my expectation at dr Umbach at blossom bariatrics. ????

Congratulations! I'm feeling the same way too! Other than the slight gas, I feel normal. Let's hope it stays this way.

Just take it slow for a bit! Get outside and get a few minutes of fresh air, but take it slow. You just had major surgery. :) I'm so happy to hear you are doing great. Enjoy the new adventure. Remember to sip, walk, sip, walk! :)

Mall walking and shopping. I realized too many bags are a no no but sip walk take a break eat another pill seems to be my motto

JamieMurphy, glad you are doing well! I just got home from the hospital today and feel really good, too. I was very worried going in, and it's such a relief to come out of surgery and feel decent. I'm excited to start 2015 with a new stomach and new lease on life.

      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.
