October 2024 Surgery Buddies

Good morning all! I am struggling. Surgery was 10/01 and I have been dealing with morning nausea. It sucks. I can’t really eat or drink anything till 10am ish and the through of Protein Shakes and yogurt 🤢.

Please tell me I am not the only one experiencing this. It’s causing me to NOT hit my goals for Water or Protein. UGH

@Candace4283
I have on hand Ondansetron subliminal that helps so much for nausea? I’m not dealing with that now but so much pain but it’s only 3 days out. I’m trying cream of shrimp soup/milk to thin…blended…little Protein Powder and bay seasoning and Protein Drinks mostly.

Did anyone have any issues with urinating after surgery. I’m 2 days post op and I can’t feel when I have to pee I just go to the bathroom but last night and today when I wiped there is some blood

Hello I am new here. I just had the roux en y gastric bypass and hiatal hernia repair last Thursday morning. I was 260 going in and I'm down to 250 . I'm on the Clear Liquids phase 1 and my dietitian said I can advance to phase 2 on Friday. Is it just me or is this liquid diet thing extremely frustrating at times and I get moody too because I do like to drink sometimes on the weekend. I am trying to take things slow but it's such a lifestyle change for me.

Congrats on the weight loss so far. I'm 4 days post op from roux en y and haven't lost a pound. I'm sticking to the full liquid diet because I want my stomach to heal correctly. Doc put me on full liquids the day after my surgery. I have little to zero pain. But I feel bloated. My doc told me advance to the next step of pureed food in 3 weeks. I just want to eat a good salad! But I'm waiting.

Omg I can’t believe it’s almost time! I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am CST. I hope I can at least get in a nap. 3:30 comes early!

How are you feeling? Any updates on your progress since surgery?

My surgery date is 10/28 also! Good luck!!

How are you feeling? I had surgery on the 28th also. I still have gas pain that I can't get rid of. Also I feel pain after swallowing my Protein or Water. I hope you're feeling better

I had gastric sleeve surgery on 10/23 and I’m currently 1week post op and I have been having horrible pain from my biggest incision on my right side all the way around my back that I can barely walk it hurts so bad. Good luck I’m seriously regretting this surgery right now due to the pain.

I had mine this past Monday October 28

I'm suffering from gas pain. My stomach hurts when I swallow my meds, Protein and Water. I hope it gets better soon.

Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏

my biggest struggle is getting my Water goal in.

I set a timer for every 15 minutes and drink an ounce of Water. This is what they had me do in the hospital and it works great.

I'm now 4 weeks post op. I'm not really in any pain except my hip which is unrelated. I'm about to start the soft foods phase,. I'm nervous about when I will start solid foods because solid foods are what helped me get big in the first place. I have my ne month review with my surgical team in the 7th of November.
