Is it ok to feel this good!



Recommended Posts

Hey folks I had the surgery on 6/9 and went home the very next day I feel really good is this okay? Gas is the only issue but I've been able to manage. Im already driving and drinking my fluids is a little bit of a challenge but if I take my time I can get it in. One of my tips for any newbie is to make sure you get plenty of exercise right before the surgery.

Most definitely feeling this good is OK. :)

Congrats on landing one of those textbook WLS recoveries. :)

Your story parallels mine; a bit of gas the night after surgery; released next day. Good enough to go shopping for broth and Vitamins the next day; drove 6 hours home the next day and back to work on the next day

Not an issue at all. I was walking the halls the day of and went home the next day. I used the pain meds only a few days then tapered right off. The only issue I had the first week was what people call head hunger but that dissipated within a week. Fluids went down great and never had issues getting my Fluid and Protein goals met.

It's perfectly normal to have a text book recovery. Embrace and enjoy it. Success will be greater if you simply do exactly as your doctor and NUT tell you too.

Good luck and happy weight loss my friend.

Of course it is, you silly man!

Just one word of caution:

Remember you just had a major surgery. Be kind to yourself.

Keep posting. Good news is always welcomed and needed. :)

If and when the news is not so good, we want to hear about those times too. Maybe we can help. We'll try anyway.

Prayers going up for a continued joyfu journey for you.

      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.
