1st day home from the hospital



Recommended Posts

Sore, but now that I took a shower and got into my own bed I feel better. Quite nervous, because I don't know actually what I'm supposed to "feel" like. Not sure if I'm hungry or not, hoping this all turns into a new normal. Anyone else out there been like this?

Yes it was great to finally be home. Just take it easy. I didn't really get hungry until day 3 of being home. I was in the hospital for 6 days because I had so much inflammation from having the lap band removed. I'm ready for real food but I'm being patient and waiting. I'm on liquid stage 2 and Tomato Soup is my new best friend!!

You need to be sure to drink throughout the day. Sip all day to stay hydrated. Walk/move often to reduce risk of blood clots and rest the rest of time! Congrats on being on the Loser's Bench!

You can have Tomato Soup on liquid stage 2. I was so happy when I could finally have it because I was so sick of chicken broth!!

      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.
