Wreck 1 week post op



Recommended Posts

I had my first wreck today on the way to work. 6 am and I smack a deer and air bag hit me straight in the stomach. Everything is okay but was terrified I screwed my stomach up.

Is the deer okay? (Just trying to lighten the mood.:) )

Didn't you post something the other day about your extreme fatigue?

I did but it was due to not sleeping well in my recliner. I started back in bed and was feeling much better. No pain meds either. Deer came out of nowhere and I didn’t see it until I hit it. Car is totaled and now I’m in ER for watery bloody stools... been a great day. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Watery, bloody stools? I hope that's not because you have a bleeder internally. What tests are they planning to run? Is this your second visit to the ER, or did you initially go after your accident?

This is just horrible. Do you have a good support system to help you get your life back on track?

Do you live at home with your parents? (I ask only because your user photo is of a very young woman.)

As if your recovery isn't a challenge enough, you get into a car accident and get gut-punched by an airbag.

Who needs this kind of drama, particularly now?

I have a great support system and they said no bleed internally so they don’t know why I had blood. Follow up with surgeon in next few days so hope that goes good

Glad on all counts, McKenzie. I'm glad you have a strong support system.

I bet you've scared the becheezits out of everyone in the last few days.

As a mother of four, it's always a big worry when something scary like this happens to a child.

As for your fiancé, he better get used to the idea of for better or for worse,

for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, after car-deer accident and post bypass surgery...

Life is full of surprises, some more surprising than others.

Oh he has been absolutely amazing to me through it all. He’s my biggest supporter other than my mom.

Then you've got it made, Girl. I hope you'll be sharing regularly as you progress.

Are you sure you're feeling okay post deer? I'm still a bit worried about you. The mother in me can't help myself.

Keep monitoring your stools for blood. Bright red vs. darkish black-purple.

      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.
