Two days post-op surgery was 7/20/16



Recommended Posts

I feel much better than I thought I would! My surgeon said I helped make it easier on my body by losing 46lbs prior to surgery. I would have gone home after just one day but they want to keep a close eye on my blood sugars for an extra day.

great - and it will only get better from here - don't overdo it the first two weeks - allow your body to heal - follow your doctor's instructions on exercise, etc. Walk, walk, walk - sip, sip, sip

Bornthisway622, good to know all is well. How bad is the pain? I had a few laparscopic surgeries and Im wondering if the pain is similar to that. I also had a c-section so I'm trying to see where this lies on the pain scale. Btw, I'm buying a good supply of Gas X today, no lie!! 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.
