Questions-14 days post op



Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone!

I am 14 days post op and started stage 4 today introducing puréed foods.

I have lost 16 pounds since surgery, but the scale hasn't moved in 3 days, and I honestly don't have the feeling of needing to go.

I haven't been able to use the bathroom in 10 days and have been taking senna and Fiber stuff the last 4 days. Is this normal or what should I eat or take to help me?

Sometimes I feel I am eating to much, most of the time I get half a cup or so in of something and it sits in my throat for 30mins is that the full feeling people have mentioned? I can eat yogurt, applesauce, oatmeal and I can easily eat the entire yogurt and not feel wicked full.

Just making sure I am on the right track, thanks in advance for responses.

I am 4 weeks out and eat 1/4 cup. That is what my surgeon said to do. Maybe you should try to eat a bit less. If I eat more then that I get the throat feeling too. For the potty thing I used the Fleet bulb suppository and it worked great.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
