Recommended Posts

Hi everyon, I just recently have my surgery. It been 6 day that I have it and my problem is that i feel good, I hasn't throw up and I been walking as much as I can so the gas go away but that seem to be a problem for everyone.. cuz It going to sound so weird and it hasn't a week of my sergury and I feel good.. my belly hurts but is not killing

My surgery was on Monday and by Thursday I can tell it was when I start feel the most normal but everybody is driving me crazy cuz they like I should be in bed. I should be outside.. yesterday I went to a birthday party and they were freak out cuz I went.. so do u think is okey feeling this good or should I be resting ? The other thing is the liquid I think I can drink about 7 to 8 onz of Protein in like 25 to 30 minutes and I don't know if is okey cuz that another thing in my house they think I drink to much of If i say i feel hungry is like .. why u hungry, u shouldn't feel hungry with the surgery.. now I feel bad because I feel good... this is so crazy and sorry but I need to some advice

Congrats on your surgery. Sounds like you're doing great.

Exercise-wise, you're just one of the lucky ones, enjoy! Don't go skydiving or anything, but so long as you're being reasonable, great!

Some people have no problem with liquids, others do. Same with hunger.

People often don't comment when things are going great, just when they have a problem!

That is because people are seldom interested when things go good, now if you turn sky blue, one leg falls off or the chair collapses and you break a hip falling down the hospital's front steps, that is newsworthy.

I had a relatively easy recovery, not quite as bouncy as yours, but other than a little dizzy when I didn't get enough Fluid - not bad....Just be careful not to ruah the food stages - there can always be a surprise or two along the way. You are still healing and have inflammation, just be cautious and have fun. No guilt allowed.

      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.
