4 day post op, Australia



Recommended Posts

I am also 4 days post op, well 5 now I guess. Kind of surprised how well everything has gone so far, incisions were only 5 small cuts all about a half inch. Looks like they'll heal just fine! I hope your post op experience has been as easy as well! My issues have been with what feels like hunger pains and trying to get used to sugar free products.

Oh yeah I live alone so I had to start moving right away! I've been very secretive about my surgery because I have too many gossipy family members so I set myself up well in advance for a week of staying home alone. It's been nice I go back to work tomorrow and am looking forward to it. im in Ohio and we have about 8 inches of snow coming tonight and tomorrow so I might get snowed in one more day! Hope you're feeling better!

      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.
