Recommended Posts

5 days post op, feeling tired still. Fighting to get in all this Protein, just can't seem to consume that much liquid just yet. But so far so good. My husband has been by my side every step of the way I'm so great full to have his support during all this transitioning.

I feel the same @luvnme4eva. Are you still taking the pain meds? That might be why you are so tired, I stopped mine the next day because they just make me so tired. I had my surgery on the 30th, so day 3 postop. I was up walking that evening (not much but still). My incision are a little sensitive but I've had no pain. I as well can't take down all that liquid/protein. I'm just not hungry, my stomach just always feels full. I can do about 4 ounces of my Protein Shakes at a time and thats only 3 times a day. So again i'm not getting in everything. I think the most important part is keeping hydrated.

How are you feeling @@tcon?

Feeling pretty good! Sore and my belly is really swollen. I'm one of the lucky ones that gained 10 pounds from the swelling. ???????????? Pain isn't too bad. A little fatigue.

How are you doing?

Yes my belly is swollen too. Those 10 lbs will come right off, I gained 5. just trying to walk at least every couple of hours. First day I didn't take a nap. So hopefully I will sleep well tonight. That's probably the hardest part for me. I wake up every 2 hours to roll over. A little uncomfortable.

I was sleeved on the 29th and I still have considerable pain and swelling myself. It seems to be a little bit better each day but It does seem the more I'm up, the more sore/tired I am that day but the next day I feel more energized and better if that makes sense. Today was the first day I finally hit the 300 cal mark with foods but I'm still having a hard time with that. I had to start setting a timer to remind me to eat.

I'm waking up a lot at night too.

I'm still on pain meds but take less and less each day. They also removed my gallbladder, and I had a hiatal hernia repair.

I also had a hiatal hernia repair, my doctor kept joking about having my stomach in my chest, but I'm glad he fixed that LOL . now my stomach is nicely placed under my left breast bone .

      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.
