January Surgery Dates!



Recommended Posts

Today is day 6 post-op and i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The pain has lessened today but im still having a lot of pain where my gallbladder was removed and where my drain is. I am having difficulty getting my Water and Protein amounts in. I have been managing about 40 oz of water and 10-20 grams of protein daily. Im hoping im through the worst of it and its only up (weight down ????) from here!

Im 5 days out, I'm still in some pain but not as much if I over do walking the pain gets worse, getting a lot of my Water in which is good. My surgery went well but they said my organs were very close to each other, they almost had to cut me all the way open! Thank god they managed!

6 Days post-op now. Feeling better each day. Don't think I've gotten enough walking in and getting Protein in is crazy too! But feelings of nausea are easing up slowly, pain is easing have slightly more mobility than I did before! The most important thing is to try and not get to the point of hunger as then I get cranky and fall in love with the smells of food! Yesterday I made sure I eat before severe hunger struck and felt a lot more at ease. Wounds have officially begun itching which is crazy as I've officially come to terms that I can visibly see staples in my stomach. And the noises your stomach makes are legendary! I'm sure this morning I could actually see the way everything was being digested...

      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.
