December Bypass Twin?



Recommended Posts

Hey every body I had my bypass on the 10th. I had to stay in the hospital 4 days. First day after surgery I was up walking and doing well. 2nd day I went into Atril Fib so that stopped everything no walking until they could get me back in regular heart rhythm. Then my I.V infiltrated with that harsh heart med and to this day site is very hard and painful But now I am 1 week out and doing good getting my shakes and fluids in and feeling so positive about the future cant wait until I can stronger and stronger.

The gas was terrible for me the first 3 days! I'm feeling fantastic now though! Good luck today. Please share how it goes!

Well, I was a little disappointed. My weight was actually 1 pound heavier than presurgery. The doctor did point out I was retaining Fluid. Pretty badly. So shifted a couple of my meds and work from there. Full liquid diet until Christmas Eve then to puree foods. Yay! I am so worried about screwing this up.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Hopefully the med change will help. My follow-up is tomorrow. I'm on full-liquid for 21 days post-op, so I will be liquid until January 1. I'm beginning to get creative!

I'm doing well with the fluids but not so much with the shakes. They're thick. It's hard to get them down. Got any tricks?

I stayed 2 days. Blood pressure and oxygen levels both really low. I have to keep an eye on both at home. Feeling good getting most all my Protein and Water in most days. Enjoying the nicer weather here and walking outside. Oxygen level is fine. Blood pressure depends on what day and time I guess. Congratulations and best wishes for you to keep moving forward.

I use Muscle Milk Protein Powder. It makes good hot chocolate or with ice in the blender. I like the tast of it. Second best is Premiere Protein Shakes real icy cold. That is what works best for me. My sister also got me some unflavored Protein powder to add to other things. I have like a ton of Water flavor packets so it makes the water more interesting.

Oh yes I love creativity. Have you seen the Campbell's Well Yes Sipping Soups? Love them. I have sugar free Jello and pudding, popsicles. broth makes me feel good and warm tea. For some reason yogurt doesn't agree with me right now anyway. Create, create, create. [emoji3] [emoji274] [emoji3] [emoji274] [emoji148] [emoji188] [emoji148]

I had my pre-op today... surgery date of 12/26. Merry Christmas to me! So excited! Today the lady doing my EKG gave me one of the stickers from the hospital with all my info on it, plus my surgery date. She told me to go home and put it in my Bible and every time I see it thank God for this time to get a new lease on my life. So sweet. Incredibly true too. So thankful!

Just got home from my post-op. 10 days out and he said I'm doing great. I've been cleared to go to the gym! Up to 15lbs, but hey! That's so exciting to me. I am 20.2lbs down since November 26th, which I'm excited about. Still full liquid until January 1.

      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.
