I'm Home....Surgery September 9th



Recommended Posts

Hi, I just arrived home about an hour ago.

I had a pretty restless night at the surgery center...wasn't my iComfort!

I've taken my meds and I think I am going to try to rest and sleep for a bit.

@@magicalwoman - good idea. catch up on your sleep and try to move and hydrate when you are awake today. tomorrow if you can try OTC pain meds and still hydrate and move...

Like your new seat, on the losers bench???

I had my surgery yesterday too and won't be out until at least tomorrow morning. I'm exhausted though, nurses come in every 30 mins it seems like lol.

About 10 years ago, I discovered I had high blood pressure when I was at work with chest pains. They brought me to the hospital for a "stress test" which is supposed to be either getting on a treadmill with electrodes on your body or getting a shot that speeds up your heart... with electrodes on your body. I had to stay overnight. They woke me up every half hour to an hour throughout the night. I asked if that was really the stress test because if it was... it was working.

I had no idea you could do that! I thought it was a huge serious thing and they had to keep you for a few days.

@Radar I used to think that same thing! But I went through True Results ... and that is how they did the sleeve for me ... there were a lot of ppl there that day ... they also do surgeries in the hospital for others ... but this is what worked for me :)

Just took more pain meds about an hour ago.

I slept for about an hour maybe.

Tried unjury chicken Soup, best thing I've had so far.

I will stay up for another few minutes then back to bed. I feel so tired.

I was outpatient too. We were home by 2pm and I'm glad. It was nice to be in my own bed. My mom and husband made sure I got my mess around the clock and really don't think I would have been any better off in the hospital.

      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.
