2 Days Post-Op and feeling great!



Recommended Posts

Hey! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am 2 days post op and feeling 100x's better than I had ever imagined! I still have a little soreness when I move certain ways, but its kinda like my ab's are just really really sore from a good work out or something! I have a little bit of congestion and I will probably go 2 the doc tomorrow if it does not get any better to make sure i don't have pneumonia, but im sure that i dont!! This morning I was able to shower by myself and I actually felt like drying my hair and putting on a little make up! Oh and I have already lost TEN pounds so im pretty pumped bout that!!! I just wanted to open up and let u guys ask me any questions if you have them!

I wish you all the best of luck!

Roxy :huh2:

Congratulations on getting banded and feeling great! I hope I'm as lucky as you!

I'm getting banded on December 30th and I'm slightly freaking out!! I know this is what I want, but I'm just a little worried about the whole thing.

I'm doing the pre-op liquid diet right now. They said I can have Jello, slim fast shakes/protein shakes, and if i need it, a small chicken breast in the evening. WHat did you do for your liquid diet? They said I cant have red or orange Jello which is the only flavors I like! Did you eat any of the sugar free Jello puddings?

What was surgery like? Do you have 5 incisions?

Well I actually didnt have 2 do a preop diet besides the day before liquids only and nothing after midnight so I will be no help to you there!

Surgery was quick and I dont remember anything about the day after they put me to sleep! I slept a lot, and getting in the liquids the first few days was rough but other than that it was great! Yea i do have 5 incisions but I can tell that they wont be very visible after I heal well and everything! My mom had gastric bypass sugery 4 years ago and you cant even see hers at all!

Good luck! Dont be too nervous, it will go well!! Feel free to ask me any other questions!!

Have a great day!

      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.
