Tomorrow is my Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I finally had my sleeve on Tuesday. I should be going home tomorrow Thursday if my nausea stops. That Was a killer for me. I also keep getting hiccups.

I can only have clear fluids for another week then move to purée food but really slow. I'm on iv fluids while in the hospital.

I'm looking forward to learning a new health life.

Congratulations @@Zweiz, it will get better. I also had hiccups and nausea while in the hospital, but once I started walking everything started falling into place. I have not taken my nausea meds for the last two days. I'm one week post op today and went back to work last Monday. Hang in there sweetheart!

The hiccups are awful! I started getting them almost as soon as I woke up. I tried holding my breath, everything and they wouldn't stop. They finally stopped after I was able to at least eat a few ice chips. After I was able to sip Water they went away.

I hope you can get rid of them soon. The Fluid week goes quickly, after you are through it, but when starting it, 7 days seems like forever.

Good luck!!

I actually forgot to weigh myself before being operated on. I'm going home today. This is not easy. I still can't drink enough. I'm going for coconut Water.

I know I have to hang in there for a few more days to feel better. I did ask to have see my stomach. I'm taking it home to plant it under a tree or something. Lots of junk in thee to make anything grow.

God Bless All

      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.
