This sucks!



Recommended Posts

Okay my first week out of surgery sucked, barely got much Fluid down, was only able to drink Water, nothing else. I was nauseated my first week, The 4th day out I had to go to the ER, I was fine all day, but at night I got hit bad with nausea and went to the ER, they couldn't get the IV in so I told then I didn't want it cause it hurt too much. Then I went back in the waiting, nauseated like heck. So a few hours later they brought me to a room which I waited a couple hours to get bloodwork and I almost passed out and almost vomitted so they laid me down where my feet were up in the air it helped for awhile and I got up and the feeling came back. They did a fleet and it helped a little bit, when I got home, a few hours later I felt nauseated again, last I can remember it went away a little and came back on the Friday so I called my surgeron and he told me to see him, did a barium swallow and everything was fine and he gave me a better nausea med it made me better for 2 weeks then this Friday night i ate something all of a sudden I felt nauseated I took a pill and it never helped! So I've Been in bed since then, been up here and there but I then have to go back and lay down, it seems to be the only thing that helps. Okay so I'm thinking the nausea feeling isn't in my stomach, it's in my throat, I heard it's reflux, and I have a bad taste in my mouth, had that feeling since Saturday, it got so bad where it just happened, vomitted but nothing came up, and I feel like I got to still this sucks I didn't want to live like this I'm only 3weeks and 3days post op, but still! I wanna be out with my friends and this is preventing me to do so ): I'm losing hope and feeling like I made the biggest mistake ever, you all say it'll get better, what if it doesn't? If I ever get the band removed, would I still feel like this? I just want to be like myself again, this sucks!!

      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.
