Just now home from the hospital



Recommended Posts

I just got home from the Hospital this afternoon and I'm having trouble keeping up with the liquid intake. I feel so nauseated even with Zofran. I'm in so much pain and I'm just wondering if I made a mistake by choosing this surgery.

you might try a flavored mix in or an herbal tea. Water was horrid for nausea. I am just now (at 4 months out) starting to tolerate plain Water.< /p>

I agree...warm goes down so much easier. I would do tea

I absolutely could not tolerate Water at all for the first 3 weeks for some reason! It felt "hard" when it landed in my new tummy for some reason. Things that worked better for me were G2 gatoraide, broth, crystal light, tea, and apple juice. I found that room temperature and hot liquids went down easier too. Even now almost 3 months out I still prefer room temperature which is crazy because I used to be queen of the ice cubes! lol... Hang in there.. you didn't make a mistake.. you will get through this and find things that work for you and this will be a fabulous journey! :)

      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.
