Hey how are you doing. Did the temp go down?




Hi ! Yes thankfully so. I was extremely constipated which was causing the severe pains & I guess fever since I was so uncomfortable. I told milk of magnesia and I'm better but scared it happens again

Well im 38 days after surgery. (RNY)And i did have Constipation. But easily resolved. I am still in soft foods. But doing really well. Yesterday i had 100.1 low grade fever. And my dr said not yo worry. I am not constipated and not dehydrated. And everything else look good. No fver today. This is hard. But i guess its all worth it. Lets keep in touch. We have close surgery dates. Have a good one.

I ran a low grade fever for several days once I finally got home from the hospital. The other thing to check is your resting hear rate. I had an elevated heart rate as well during that time (about 110 bpm). Those were the two things we were supposed to call our doc about - if either got over 100. Eventually both came down, but I know the feeling...it's a bit scary so soon after surgery.

      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.
