Recommended Posts

had my surgery today at 1100

I would say it was a success . ...I wanted to share for those awaiting their surgery

The anesthesia was good, I was joking with the surgical staff then next I was waking up in recovery.

I have a pain pump....not using it excessively. I have not been allowed to sip yet....the dry mouth is no joke! ha ha. I have a swab and ice Water...so that is a plus.

I'm not nauseous....no pain...no gas pressure (yet) I did get up and urinated.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair....I actually feel human again!

I did get an abdominal band....this is a good thing to have.

all is well......hope you don't mind the ramblings....hey, I AM medicated. haha

good night friends!

Hey buddy!! I just had mine on Tuesday and just got home. Glad to hear your journey is also going well! I think we are one of the lucky few with hopefully good surgery and recovery stories! The greatest feeling was coming home and taking a shower. I feel so good now. Just relaxing on my couch watching Netflix now.

      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.
