Post Op Feeling Good And Lots of Gas



Recommended Posts

Post Op I am feeling good. So far so good dealing with a little pain and a lot of gas but the good news is I’m down 8lbs and about to go walk. Doctor said I can be back at the gym after a month. One day at a time but I’m going to get back to the real Baker very soon!!!

Hey, you can go to the gym before your one month post-op visit when you feel up to it. You can't weight train of course, but you can certainly do cardio. You start of light--elliptical or treadmill. If you're up to it after a few days, you can take a spin class or increase the intensity on the elliptical or treadmill. Since it's cold where I live, walking outside wasn't an option when I had surgery in December 2018. The gym was my saving grace---pacing around the house just wasn't working for me. Congrats and you'll do great!!!

      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.
