Update on my post op appointment



Recommended Posts

So I had my post op appointment and told my surgeon every complication I was having and she said sounds like something went wrong and the only way to fix it is to have another surgery. She instructed me to go back to the hospital. I told her I will in the am once I dropped my bf off at the airport( he has no one else. On my way home I started having horrible shoulder bed could barley walk upright it’s just so much I’ve been in bed since I got home.

Listen to your doctor. Go to the hospital now. Your BF can call Uber for Pete's sake. Very seriously...your life could be in danger.

I have no idea I’m waiting in the wheel chair in the room right now. The drew blood and wanted me to drink the white foamy stuff but I can’t because I can’t keep anything down. I threw up shortly after they asked me.

      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.
