My surgery date is coming



Recommended Posts

Everything is moving forward I am looking forward to Sunday when I can add full liquids to my diet and go back to my Protein Shakes, I have missed those. I think I have missed coffee most of all though.

I am doin pretty good. Some of the soreness seems to be subsiding but still getting some gas pains. Had my first bm about 4:30am. I am having some type of stomach spasms or something. Not sure if it is hunger or spasms or both. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I had my surgery last Monday (24th) and doing pretty good! I had no pain or nausea in the hospital! The only pain I had were the incisions. Just felt like I did too many stomach crunches. I didn’t feel like I had surgery! I’m on full liquids. I started riding my stationary bike for about 20minutes. It’s been raining here in Houston so can’t get out and walk. On about Wednesday I was having some nausea problems but that’s the only day. My husband took me to see the grandkids yesterday and I was sore more than usual. I think it was from the seat belt. When you get to feeling good to go out it might be a good idea to take a pillow to put across your belly. I just got finished eating Cream of Mushroom and chicken Soup mixed with 1c of 1/2% milk and 1/3c of instant powdered milk. It was DELICIOUS!! I ONLY GET A 1/2c. I go back to the dr Wednesday. It looks like so far I’ve lost 10lbs. Now that’s according to my scale. I’m pleased!! Any weight loss is a good loss!!

I have been having a hard time sleeping. I tried both sides and stomach. Stomach is my normal sleep position. no side is good and still wake up in the middle of night to adjust myself.

      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.
