Day 10- how did you feel?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery June 26!! So excited. A few months back I had planned a large tattoo and have an appointment 10 days after surgery on July 5. I was wondering if I should reschedule...

It'll be a long day starting at 12:00. If I'm going to feel okay, no need to reschedule or will I be sore/tired??

Depends where it is. I couldn't be on my stomach at all right now (exactly ten days out) and I'm tired. Like TIRED. I'm also 53 and ya know. You may be younger and bounce back just fine.

Also, wouldn't you want to wait to see what your body does after surgery. Skin shrinking could change the look

I'm ten days out today. I wouldn't recommend it. Tired, weak. Your skin will change, wait.

Hello

I would reschedule Your tattoo appointment because everyone heals different and you need to rest and make sure you are well enough before doing anything else and also you don't want to risk getting a bad infection if any complication. Of course you must make the best decision but I would take it one step at a time. You can always get it another time. 😊. Best of luck

Definitely wait, you want your body to focus on healing up your insides and incisions, and you don't need another thing to worry about washing and tending to, and potentially getting infected.

      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.
