Is it normal to feel normal?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks post op. I feel no pain. I feel active. I went swimming and it felt great. I eat normal food (no carbs or hard food yet) and it feels great. I sometimes have a weird feeling that something is not right because i feel so normal. I feel nauseous now and then but still i feel normal. Sometimes i have strange gas noises coming from my stomach but it doesn't hurt or anything it just feels weird.

I am scared of a thing called (undetected leaks) since I went swimming and my child jumbed on my stomach.

I get the feeling that there is something wrong even though i feel ok. Anyone had this experience?

Well, I feel the same way I must say! Ever since my surgeon told me I could go back to biking and swimming, I have been feeling pretty good which is kinda weird after the first "meh" month where I was tired all the time.

I don't think there is anything wrong, if you don't feel pain or perpetual disconfort then it should mean everything is fine! Enjoy feeling good is all I can say :)

I think around 4 weeks is when I really started to feel like a normal human being again too. I think by then you are recovered from the surgery, at least on soft foods, getting a fair amount of calories in, and getting back into a routine. So I think that, yes, it is normal to feel "normal" again around that time.

That's great news. I'm five days out and the only pain I have is a little bit from the hernia that was repaired. Haven't been swimming yet LOL

      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.
