Home and resting.



Recommended Posts

Surgery went fantastic. I went home Friday. Today has been lots of drinking and walking. My right side is very sore especially standing up and sitting down. I'm feeling great and my mood is great. I'm ready to get moving again.

I have had some issues with nausea all of the sudden. I'm hoping it's the milk. I will stick to broth and Water for the rest of tonight and try another Protein Drink tomorrow.

I got home yesterday after surgery on the 25th. Feeling so blah and full, hard to get the shakes down. Last nite was uncomfortable with nausea and had a hard time sleeping. Today is a little better, trying to stay positive...but it's hard.

You can do it! The first 2 days home were not that great. They were defiantly the worst. By Monday I was able to get out of the house and walk around the grocery store and it's all been uphill from there. I do still have some pain but it is manageable.

thanks, I am having the hardest time getting the little bit of shakes in, and suspect they are are causing the nausea, and am feeling stressed trying to get all the fluids in...am hopeful that each day will get better.

      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.
