Officially Post-Op



Recommended Posts

Well, surgery went well. I started walking as soon as I was brought back to my room until the pain meds kicked in then I napped. Woke up for my lunch - broth, crystal light, and Jello. Walked again, slept more then drank more broth and jello. Getting fluids down doesn't seem to be an issue and the only really bad pain I had was in my shoulders from left over gas from surgery. Walking has definitely helped with that! If all is still good, I'll be discharged tomorrow. Thanks for all the well wishes! So far so good! I've made it to the losers bench!

Congratulations! I'm hoping mine goes so well next week on Dec. 22nd. Kind of worried but posts like yours help calm me down a lot. Glad it went so well and best wishes!

      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.
