Any April 2021 surgeries?!



Recommended Posts

Hello all. 1 week since I had my surgery and I have to say I feel fantastic. I was started on soft foods the very first day, mixed with shakes and each day I was able to get more in. I'm down 25 pounds already (starting at the preop diet). I'm not hungry anymore and I'm very thankful I did this. A couple of you were scaring me about the surgery before I had it lol.

Done. I am few hours post op and I feel much better than I expected. I could already walk in my room, go to the bathroom... no real pain, more discomfort. I had gas for an hour but that’s all. Only on IV Tylenol. I have a pump for morphine. I did push twice on it in the recovery room (more because the patient next to me would not shut up !!!). It gave me nausea so I did not take morphine after these two doses. They added anti nausea in the IV, which worked in 20 min. And it did not come back. They gave me Water, I think I am at 4 oz in 2-3 hours

Yes I am going to ask what I can take to pass a BM. I could not pass one on Tuesday already, which was my last day of preop diet.

As i read posts I realize we are really all reacting differently to this surgery. I had surgery 4/26/21 and I was hating life that day. It was constant nausea and vomiting not to mention severe abdominal pain. It was so bad i was regretting every minute. And, because of COVID, they did not let anyone stay with me which was insane. The nurses were busy but as kind as could be. i do have to say that with every passing hour i feel better. I slept quite a but now i am starting to feel much better.

I had mine on 4/22, and was up and walking within an hour. Didnt take first BM until 4/25 though and it was fine. I had been taking a Fiber supplement since week before surgery, because the Protein diet did cause some BM isssues and didnt want that coming up again post surgery.

I had mine 4/8, they made me get off to stretcher and walk to my bed when I got out of recovery. I was like ok. Honestly though I never felt pain from my stomach. Just the gas pains but after walking around some they went away within a day or less.

Happy May everyone! For those of us who had surgery the first week of April, this week will we will hit the one month mark for surgery! (For some of you, that happened during the weekend).

So, how is everyone doing at the ONE MONTH point? Wow, an entire month. Any new milestones? What's better? How's everyone doing?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
