Just had surgery 2/14



Recommended Posts

I’m so sorry. I had mine on 2/13/23, gas x helped. It’s so much harder for you since you can’t walk much . That’s what helped me with gas pain. Gas pain is a nightmare. Talk to your surgeon team to see if there’s another way to help . Hope you feel better

Thanks appreciated. Having a tough time meeting Protein goals but trying my best. Today I start my 3rd week diet where I can finally have eggs and possibly tofu (if I can stomach it ) so hopefully a turning point on the protein.

I had to have emergency surgery because my bowels got clogged so they reentered into two of my incisions which hurts like hell. All my incisions are glued but I have stitches on the inside behind the two incisions that they went back into. So it’s hard to get up and move around or even do much for myself

Oh I’m glad you got the help you needed. Some people like the binder, some don’t. I love using Spanx and binders because the sloshing sensation and sqeegy sounds of moving internal organs makes me feel “disemboweled” from days of yore. I used them for prior emergency hernia surgery too. It’s a personal preference thing. Maybe you don’t feel, hear, or see sloshing? I wish you well and healing comfort.

Oh, I only use them for recovery, like a month. They are too hot and restrictive generally. Best to you!

Just a lil update I’m doing much better. I’m up and moving around. Tomorrow will be my 1 month recovery date from my original bypass surgery date. I’m taking in food pretty well. I only struggle with reheated food it seems my stomach won’t digest it. But other than that I’m good. How have you guys been?

      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.
