Who's having surgery in march



Recommended Posts

I had mine 3/6. For the most part I feel great. I had a bit of gas that the gas x strips helped tremendously. My main issue now is a terrible burning sensation in my muscles on my left side when I stand, sit and walk. If I lay down or recline it completely goes away. I've lost 18 pounds since morning of surgery! Excited to see my progress as time goes on!!

Had mine on the 7th. Came home yesterday, gas pains are really bad!!!!



Walk walk walk, first day is really bad, you will feel better every day. My second day they gave me chewable gas pills, worked like a charm, but walking helps your gas tl go away. By the third day, you will feel great. Good luck

Surgery buddy! I have the same day and same pain! I tried to go to work this morning but I got so nauseous and the pain on my left side is like daggers. When do you go back to work? I've lost 9 since morning of surgery!

My left side hurt terribly but walking helps a lot. We can't move too fast. We are newbies. I'm trying to figure out drinking and eating enough hello. My favorite chicken noodle broth taste blah to me now I'm going to drink Protein Drinks I got from metabolic weight loss. Its like crystal lite but Protein. U can now buy from them without a membership. They got some in store called lift waters they are nasty. Do anyone live in shreveport la.

      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.
