Day 4 post op. No pain yet. a bit swollen, NO HUNGER!



Recommended Posts

I've had no problem with Water intake. I can drink water just as well now than pre surgery it seems. Last day of clear liquid then Liquid for 2 weeks I think. I seem to have some swelling or bloating in my abdomen. I dont think this is gas. Could be trauma from surgery and swollen maybe? Trocar sites are itchy but seem to be healing well. Anyone experience similar? Thanks for any input. I am incourged by absolutely no hunger at this point!!

Hey I am so happy to hear you are doing well. Did you talk to your doctor about the swollen abdomen? Did that just happen? I wonder how it feels not to have hunger. Not too long for me now omg lol

No we didnt discuss but for me it lasted less than a week. I am used to my abdobmen being swollen. It wasn't bad. That day is such a blur. When I woke up my mouth was really dry. I had that gas pressure and couldn't pee for a while that night. I took the pain meds everytime I could. I walked alot and drank alot of Water. burping out the gas felt great. By the time the Doc came in the next morning he said how are you doing? I said Shockingly well. Been a great trip so far!

      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.
