Hi Everyone!,

Giving a big shout out from New Jersey. My husband was just banded on the 12th. I'm really exhausted from taking care of him and the kids. Just need to know from all you good folks (my pool of experts!) is it normal for someone post-op to feel really dizzy and hot. My husband does'nt have a fever but his arms are really hot the rest of him feels normal. No fever either. I want to call his doc but he does'nt also he needed to go to the bathroom but when he sat down he really got dizzy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Let me know and blessings to you all you're really brave!:tongue2:

Hi.. I will not be banded until next week, but you should call the doctor for peace of mind. Men are a bit more "sensitive" and love to be "taken care of", if you get my drift. But, just in case, call the doctor. I have a hubby and several sons!! Experienced Mama. ChristyC

Jani, Hi from Louisiana. The dizziness might be after effects from anesthesia. Some people handle it better than others. You should def. check with your Dr., however. Also he hasn't eaten in a while that might account for some of the dizziness.

Hope all goes well.

Tara.

Thanks Louisiana, I thought so. He is being stubborn about eating(he's sick of my chicken broth) its hard cause he's smells me making dinner for the kids. Does this get better? I kinda dreading my own operation. Bless you for the advise. Jani

      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.
