3 Days Post-Op



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 days post surgery feeling ok. Still taking pain med q 4-6 hours as needed. Still no real appetite but I'm having Protein Shakes, sf pudding, sf Jello, Decaf hot tea, & Water. Will have cream of something Soup for dinner. My stomach constantly makes loud rumbling noises. LoL Bathroom trips have been very productive. I think my hernia repair slows me down the most. It's hard getting out of bed. I'm off work until 3/2/15 so I plan on using that time to heal and get use to my new beginnings. I will post before & after pics as soon as I see some results. It's so beautiful here today in the sunshine state. No regrets! Have a blessed day everyone !

      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.
