Update from ICU after bypass



Recommended Posts

Good news everyone I had my gastric bypass surgery on Monday. Long story short they nicked my spline and I started to lose mass amounts of blood after my surgery. They took me back in for emergency surgery for 4 hours and ended up giving me 9 units of blood. Now I am still in ICU But they just told me I'm doing great and will be getting moved to a regular room today and maybe even home this weekend or Monday. I'm having no issues keeping all the fluids down and no throwing up at all. Feeling much better then then still feeling weak. Thank yall for all your prayers and support and I just wanted to share the good news side of this ????... Now things only get better and better for me and I'm now on the losers bench!

Thanks again yall!

Karl

Congratulations on being on the other side of surgery. Sometimes the worrying before the procedure is as hard as the surgery. Glad you had your spleen problem solved.

Please post when you start feeling great about changing your life!!

      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.
