15 days post op...Still catching up on Sleep!



Recommended Posts

I'm back at work 40+ hours a week..."physical labor" and all I can do is rest when I get home. I don't want to go anywhere but home after a long day. I'm not eating enough , not drinking enough fluids to go hanging with my girls. They don't understand...and I could care less it's the weekend. I know it will be at least another month before I feel like ME!...

How are you new sleevers feeling at work or after work?

Are you exhausted?

I went back to work at 2 weeks post op and I come home and sleep or at least. Remember we just put our bodies through a lot. I do feel better just sleepy a lot.

Yes, I think because I made it through the surgery....I don't focus on the "actual" surgery that I had. It's a serious surgery and I've been poked, chopped, & stitched...I should look how I actually feel...."like ****"[emoji23] but, I will never feel that bad...I will remain cute...even in pain!..

I'm on day 8 of liquid pre op diet and finding that I'm tired and don't have my normal energy. I'm expecting that to continue to decrease over these last few days leading to surgery. So, I expect post op will be the same. My boss had someone else go through this process and he warned me about being tired. So he's given me carte Blanche to work from home after I recover. That takes the pressure off since I have over an hour commute each way on mass transit.

      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.
