Had Surgery this morning!



Recommended Posts

Hey there yall, I had my surgery this morning. I am doing pretty good. The gas pains are hurting pretty bad. When I get up and walk around and put my hands in the air I feel better and then I will sit up for a little bit and it is fine. When I lay down is when it hurts. But other than that I feel ok. On Clear Liquids for 3 days and then start full liquids again for a week or so. I know this is a really good thing that I did even though what I went thru to get it. Good Luck to everyone that has had it and I know I started a new life today! :juggle:

I am feeling better. The wounds are not even really hurting. It is the gas pain but I will make it thru. Thanks for the encouraging words

Momwifelove,

Walk walk walk is the best thing for that gas. It is aggravating I know but it helps. I made countless trips through my kitchen, dining room and living room and back.

Congratulations on your surgery! :crying:

Definitely walk around as much as possible -- it's a big help! Congratulations on getting banded!

If you haven't done it yet, be sure to take your measurements and take a few full length photos as soon as possible. It feels so good as you are losing to be able to look back and see how far you have come! :crying:

Best wishes,

Catherine

the gas pains are what's hurting, most of the gas pains are below the incisions mostly, I feel like I got burt but can't and I also need to go #2 but can't either and I know I'd feel 10 times better. Sometimes it hurts to take deep breaths but other than that I feel ok it's ok when I walk just hurts when getting up and I feel a little warm and just alittle uncomfortable ): can't wait for it to go away

      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.
