12 Hours Until My Surgery Check-In!



Recommended Posts

My surgery went well yesterday. My surgery time was 7:30 am and I was discharged by 1:30 pm that day because I was walking around and able to tolerate liquids. I'm in less pain than I expected from the surgery and am moving around pretty well. The nausea is not fun, but I expect that will improve in the next few days. I hope things went well for everyone else!

My time was 7:30am yesterday. I'm still impatient, dr didn't let me start Clear Liquids till this morning. The pain has been horrible on my left side at the incision sights. I'm able to walk around but the pain is just unbearable and the morphine every 4 hours just hasn't helped at all. They switched me to a Tylenol/codone pills an hour ago and we are seeing how they work. Less nauseous for sure, but still in petty bad pain. No real other complications. Will see if tommorrows any better. Good luck everyone!

It's getting a little better each day. The pain on my left side is still pretty awful but that's really the only issue I'm having so I shouldn't complain.

Getting the Protein and Water in is going to be difficult....I managed to get all my Vitamins and supplements in yesterday but wasn't anywhere close to the Protein or Water goals. Building up to that as best I can....it really is a full time job!

Hoping everyone else is doing well too!

      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.
