Recommended Posts

Day 3 post op. First night was uncomfortable in high dependency but morphine helped. Once settled things improved. Had the x Ray to check for leakage the next day which was fine. Free fluids end of day two and onto liquid food day three and now home. Sore in places but not needing any pain relief. Had no issues with banything really, just taking things slowly when eating/drinking. Fingers crossed everything keeps going as is. Did remember thinking WTF am I doing as the they prepared to anthestise me but no regrets so far. Good luck to anyone with a imminent surgery date 👍

Other than being careful to sip slow and be mindful of incisions things are going well...

So good to see how great all who got operated this month are doing. Tomorrow it will be me, am actually feeling calmer than I was yesterday, let's see how I feel tomorrow. My Dr said I can take something he prescribed for anxiety before heading to hospital tomorrow which won't be until 2 pm CET. I will post from the 'other side.'

Well guys today is the day, in about 8hrs I'll be checking in at the hospital to have my surgery. I'm very anxious but also excited because I know this is life changing but I've never had any kind of operation before so it's scary for me. Best wishes to you all and the start of this new stage in our life !

      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.
