I got a bug on day 10!



Recommended Posts

I felt terrible yesterday. Pain, nausea, and GERD. Called WLC and they guided me through the GERD. I stayed in bed all day. I'm a little better today, but very tender. Took one big nap. I feel like I've been set back from recovering. It almost feels like day 1. Anyone get sick this early?

I did get cold sick within 3 weeks post op. It sucked!

I am so sorry you are not feeling well and especially sorry you are having gets issues. Which surgery did you have?

I had by-pass. I'm still not right. The doctor had the nurse call in a cocktail to help and when my husband went to get it it didn't get called in. We upped the Prolsec an that has helped a little. I'm hating these Protein Drinks. I have left a message but it seem to be an answering machine.

Arg! I got the flu with I think an infection week three as well. I still have the worst cough ever (just crossed the month-line). I found cold medicines with how little food is in my stomach AWFUL. Between pain meds before and cold meds this last week I haven't had a clear head since pre-op and I miss the few days in between when I was just in pain! BUT it's getting better now and the rebound is amazing! I feel great about everything all at once and plain old recovery discomforts don't bug me now. (For what that's worth!)

Ufff! I'm sorry! It can't last forever and the rest of the rough days will almost certainly pass so much more easily when it's done.

Feeling much better today. Resorted to pain medicine last night. Something is better now, I can get something in my stomach now. Yay! Thanks!

      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.
