Recommended Posts

Hey everyone just wanted to share a little bit of what happened with my gastric bypass surgery I had my surgery on 11/7 and had to have another one on 11/8 and stayed in ICU 4 days after yes that's right ICU and had to have two tubes put in me to drain the fluid's out of my stomach stayed in the hospital for another 5 days

Now am still recovering just got the last two removed 12/7

I am getting more energy every day and every day is better day and I'm just grateful that I am here to tell my story at first I wasn't feeling that I made the right decision but now since I am healing and feeling better it's okay it's okay I should be returning back to work in another week and a half so it's okay

Bless your heart! My surgery was the same day. Gastric bypass. Can't believe how good I felt.

Had a gastric sleeve 4 years ago and was miserable as hell from day 1.

Hope you to continue to stay strong and healthy.

If you don't mind my asking, what happened that you had to have a second surgery the next day?

Bless you! Glad you are starting to feel better.

Oh, wow! I'm glad they caught it and fixed it quickly. That could've been bad.

      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.
