Surgery it's tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Final rant before I go back for surgery. Why was I told to be at hospital at 5:00 when they won't even take me back until 6:00?

Good luck everyone. See y'all on the other side.

Surgery went well. Walking, sleeping, walking resting, walking, sleeping. Abdomen hurts, feel bloated, and would give up my first born for a rip roaring burp. But the important thing is I made it through. Hope everyone else is doing good too.

One day after and my stomach is hurting and bloated. Slept most of the day but its good to walk around so every hour or 2 I go for a walk. Over 24hr after the op and only now am I allowed to drink some Water but not much. I brought a hot water bottle with me and its saved me alot of pain. Good luck to the rest of you.

Update. Almost 24 hours since surgery. Slept OK. Abdomen still hurts and feels bloated but pain is a lot less than yesterday. Think most of my win is gas related. Feel like a good belch would make it all go away. Throat and mouth still dry but sipping liquids as much as I can. Walking and sitting up seem to help with the gassy feeling. Periodically getting hiccups which I swear are going to kill me.

      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.
