2 days post op and home



Recommended Posts

My surgery date was Friday the 13th. It was schedule for 11 am but I was to check in to prep for 9:15. My surgeon finished his previous procedure early so I was next in line. I was hooked up with an IV then I met with my anesthesiologist ,my doctor and his team. At this time I said. My "see you laters" to my mother and grandfather. The anesthesia was then pushed thru to my iv and I was out. My mom said the surgury was very short to her. I remember waking up out of surgery in pain and discomfort,the nurse then pushed Morphin through my Iv and that calmed the pain down. I was then transported to my room where the nurses and pct was very sweet and helpful. Ice chips was given to me and Water for the first night. Saturday they introduce Crystal light and Sunday they introduced shake,broth, and Jello. I was able to take a few sips of each but I still felt gasy so I walked around alot with no results. My dct came to visit and not only did completed the procedure he also found a hernia on my esophagus which he had to minimize. I'm just thankful for this procedure because I would know about that hernia.

Congratulations on your surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery. :)

The pain level is not bad at all Friday and Saturday was awful for me when Sunday came around the pain started to ease up a little bit.. the pain of the incisions and gas was a horrible combo.. the gas is making its exit slowly but surely.. I did drink some warm Water and that helped with the gas as well

      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.
