Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion



Recommended Posts

Sleeved Monday July 23rd. The gas pain in my shoulder was real. Weird experience with that but walking and standing straight relieved it until it passed. Looking forward to this learning journey of forming and maintaining new healthy habits

Hey all,

Ive been looking for something to carry my drinks, Protein powders, and pills for when I go back to work. I know I will still be needing a Protein Drink for some time to hit my daily goal. I can’t seem to find anything like this. I found one thing on Kickstarter and funded it. Of course that is not certain. Has anyone else found something like this that would carry everything?

This is the carry-all I got on Amazon. It carries portioned meals. pills. shakes, everything. And keeps them cool all day. I love it. http://a.co/8jDsGQU

I week post op here.... I’m having a hard time adjusting... anyone else??

Hi there. The first week is rough. I am just two weeks post op and still having trouble. Get depressed and now having trouble swallowing my Vitamins. It gets better. Some days are better than others. The people on these boards are very supportive and helpful. You aren’t alone. Anything specific you are struggling with?

I'm now post op day 5.. What a roller-coaster.. Can't seem to a Protein Shake that agrees with my stomach. ☹️
Have you tried the Protein waters? My surgery buddy struggled with shakes at first and was able to handle the Premier Protein Water better.

      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.
