Two days after surgery!



Recommended Posts

I will say I don't have as much pain as I thought I would. The trapped gas is the worse thing I'm experiencing. I've been walking and using the gas x strips. But still hurts. I am very optimistic. My mother and I actually had the surgery done together :) we are home and recovering together and routing each other on!!

Congrats! I can't wait to get that far... in the beginning stages of it all. I pray that you and your mother have a safe and well rested recovery.

Congratulations! That's cool that you and your mom had the surgery together. I hope your gas pains go away. How's your mom dealing with the gas? Or, if she's having any?

That's good your pains are getting better. I hope your moms headaches go away soon. Is it hard to get Water down? Wondering if she may be dehydrated...

      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.
