Feet and legs starting to swell



Recommended Posts

I am 3 days post op and noticing my feet and legs starting to swell. Anything I can do? Is this a bad sign?

Thanks so much!

Call your doctor last thing you need is a clot!! Please keep us posted, haven’t really had any problems since my sleeve on Monday, but did have to call my doctor and I guess I was confused. Thought I only needed to take the Omeprazole (prysolec) if I was having problems. Have to take it everyday to keep the gastric Fluid down in my sleeve so it will heal. Couldn’t figure out why I had the burning pain. Glad I called!

Call your doctor right away and keep walking every hour you're awake. Also, cut back on salt. Cut out broth and salty drinks. If your house is very hot, move to air conditioning until you get it figured out. Drink lots of Water.

      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.
