Time to Revisit the Whole Post Surgery Hot Tub/Meat Soup Subject



Recommended Posts

OK y'all. Much has been written right here in our little slice of heaven about getting into pools and hot tubs post surgery! :)

I was cleared for full work-outs with weights at my 4 week check-up. My incisions are healed, scabs gone, bruises almost gone. We discussed Water aerobics. She seemed to like the idea of them...

But! I forgot to ask her about getting in a hot tub. Derp! Next weekend I will be 5 1/2 weeks post op. Do you think it will be safe to get in a hot tub? It's privately owned rather than public. I don't want my wounds to re-open or get a bunch of grahdoo growing in them. God wouldn't it be aweful to be sitting there and look down and like a zombie, we're all sitting around in my human post-op meat Soup? :( Buzz kill. Am I right? :59_sleepy::54_hushed:

I was cleared to do anything[emoji12] as long as my scars are healed.
And I was cleared at 8 weeks in regards to lifting more than ten pounds.
Enjoy your soaker.

Thanks!! Yeah, on the lifting weights part, I think I'm gonna hold off. But who am I kidding? I only lift 3lb free weights right now. :) And it will prolly be about 8 weeks before I can get back to PT anyway. So thank you for the confirmation my friend!!

      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.
