Surgery tomorrow, 7/8/16



Recommended Posts

I went through lapband surgery in September 2011, and was successful with the lapband. When I got pregnant they removed all fluids in my band. In September 2015 I went to get a fill to learn that my port was inverted and my band is slipping. I made the decision to convert from a band to a sleeve, and will have surgery tomorrow. I'm nervous and excited, hoping for a speedy recovery.

My surgery went great! I was out if recovery 3 hours ago. Feeling fully coherent, dinner of broth and sugar free cranberry juice (which I thought was to sweet), and ice chips.

So far so fabulous, day one down!

Awesome your surgery went great but I'm wondering I thought you had to wait until the next day and drink some type of funny liquid before you sip on broth. Did you drink the Fluid in the same day that they let you eat dinner

They did my leak test while I was still under anesthesia.

They said Clear liquids yesterday. I have not recieved anything today yet.

Mine went well also!! I had it done in outpatient surgery so I came home last night. I had a few hour of intense gas pain, but other than that just a little abdominal soreness.

I'm on room temperature Water and broth only until 5 pm, when I can start full liquids as tolerated.

I'm already amazed that I am just not hungry. I'm super thirsty though, and taking smaller sips is a bit of a challenge!

Little sips are difficult for me too. If I drink too fast I get this crazy burp type of gas.

      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.
