sore but getting there



Recommended Posts

Here I stand (lie) before you, with a band of my own.

Apparently there was some drama with me in theater, oxygen levels dropped, but its all good now. I feel very tender and sore, but saying that, compared to yesterday, i am feeling pretty ok.

Not feeling any hunger, forcing myself to drink Water regularly and have the occasional teaspoon full of Soup.

In one week, on my preop diet i lost 9kg.

more soon

You were banded yesterday, right? I was wondering how some of the rest of you are doing! I'm glad you didn't have to know about the "drama" until after it was over! :)

Hope you're feeling well today! I woke up pretty sore but the painkiller is beginning to work and the heating pad helps as well. Take care!

Glad you both are doing so well! And it only gets better! At 2 weeks and one day post-op, it was like someone drew a line in the sand and suddenly, I felt terrific!!

Congrats to both of you in the new life you've chosen...

Good luck to both of you - I wish you a speedy recovery. It is true - it only gets better. I'm 11 days out and almost feeling like myself. The heating pad really did help me.

Hi, Patty! It's good to hear from you, too! I'm glad you're doing well! I'm feeling a little more sore than yesterday but still more of an ache than pain. And some aches have gone away. It's mostly my upper abdomen that is bothering me today. So I'm still taking it easy and I'm sure it will improve.

Take care and be sure to check in as you feel like it!

      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.
