Week of 11/9/2020 surgeries



Recommended Posts

Anyone else next week, I’m 11/9 for a bypass. Just looking to see if anyone wanted to be a little support group for each other, motivators for one another. I imagine it’s nice to converse with people at the same place in the journey :)

Hi I am 11/10 the day after you and I would be happy to be a motivator for one another. Maybe we can setup a zoom call weekly or something like that,

Yes I had my surgery on Nov.11th! Gastric sleeve was done. What did ya'll have done and how do you feel?
I felt pretty miserable in the hospital the day I was discharged. I felt like they didn't do very well keeping me on top of the pain. I has morphine for a short while and then TramAdol and one Tylenol 3 with codeine. I seriously felt like I regretted doing the surgery. But once I got home and could take the prescriptions the doctor gave me for pain I felt a lot better.

I have to say I had mine on the 8th and I am in barely any pain. I’m actually surprised at how smooth the recovery has been. The hospital stay was brutal though.

I have to agree I feel a lot better since I've been home but at the hospital was brutal. I didn't realize I'd have to be on top of making sure they'd bring me pain medication as much as I did. Unfortunately, by that point I was miserable and in tears. It's so much better once you get home!

Oh I am so with you on that one. I take narcotics for hip arthritis because I’m a lifer on anticoagulants and my options are super limited. I started detoxing in the hospital because they didn’t take into consideration that it had been 14 hours since I’d had any.

      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.
