3 days post op 49 yrs old & would like some friends



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post-op and find myself thinking CONSTANTLY about food/surgery/me! My grown daughter is home visiting and I worry about cooking for her. I get so annoyed with myself for worrying about those types of things. I need to take care of me. I've always taken care of everyone else and put myself last. Look where that got me! I'm quite sure that the people that are aware of our journey want us to take care of ourselves first. Guilt never got me anywhere....but self care will. I wish you the best with your W.L.S. You are most definitely worth it.

My recovery is going good & on track I suppose other than I started my period the day after surgery after not having one for over a year now I'm on day 3 of having it and doesn't seem to be getting any lighter?? Good grief if I don't have enough to deal with already!! Lol. Going to call drs office in morning to make sure this is normal. Other than that just sipping away at my fluids.

It's very normal - it's from all the hormones being released by burning fat. I got mine 3 days post-op too. It's heavier than usual - probably due to hormones and the blood thinners I am on (2 shots a day). Hang in there!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
