Walking, Walking, Walking



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery at 1:30 pm Monday, June 13, and I just finished the 20 laps around the floor my surgeon requires. Right after surgery was rough, but my pain is manageable. That first lap hurt like heck!

I think I could get my laps in pretty easily because I did a lot of walking prior to surgery. If you are physically able, you should walk before your surgery. Iecwill help your recover.

I also have no issues sipping Water, and not much gas pain

glad to see you're on the other side of it!

and yes, if you are able to walk before surgery I do think it helps with the recovery a LOT.

      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.
