Just Started Stage 2 Of Post-Op Diet
tflemon67 replied to Rita1576's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ooh sounds delicious! Tomorrow starts week 2 of my post-op diet the mushies! I can have light and fit dannon yogurt, vegetable soup without rice or pasta I can't wait. Next Thursday I get to starting the soft foods stage!! -
Day 6 Post Op - Up and at em this morning. I had some pains during the night but I think it was mostly soreness and gas moving around. I'll take a long walk after lunch today to see if I can dispatch the last of it. I'm not back to normal but normal is getting here quickly. Feeling really good today!!
-
I so feel you, days 1-3 I was like OMG you actually did this to yourself! I'm now day 5 post op and it's getting better. I have a lot of gas in my back. I took a 15 minute walk and although I didn't pass the gas at least I got it to move out of my back! I'll walk again when I get home I can't help it I have been checking the scale and I'm down 6 lbs since last week! I know it's only liquid diet/post surgery but it does help get me through the day!!
-
That dang gas lasts a long time and goes to all different sorts of uncomfortable hurtful places if you don't get it gone. Try and walk, I'll I wanted to do was sleep and I regret it. 5 days post-op and still suffering with gas. I'm happy to report I had a BM on yesterday and today. I know too much information but I'm glad my body is trying to get back to normal. I can't wait to be 1 month post-op!
-
Thanks Goodness, I'm Day 5 post-op and I think I was hit by a truck! LOL Not really getting better by the day biggest complaint is the sore abdomen and it's not too sore today. I'm a bit more hungry but the liquid shakes seem to knock the hunger out. Thursday I can add the mushies! I can't wait!

Day 4 after Thursday's surgery my daughter starts school tomorrow so I felt compelled to do a little more. Got some washing done and mopped my kitchen floor and cooked a quick dinner for my daughter. Protein shake and broth for me, just a little and I'm full. I thought I was hungry but I could only get a little down. Taking some pain meds then a nap, I'm pooped.

I was banded on Thursday and I'm getting better every day. I've probably only had 1 whole protein shake since surgery and I know I have to get nutrients in so I can gain more strength. Thankfully I've not been hungry and I'm really afraid of hunger setting in. Still debating on whether or not to go to work on tomorrow. I'm going to have to take it day by day.
-
Day 4 Post Op, still not hungry I tried to take in a little protein shake. I don't want hunger to set in. The gas is now in my back and shoulders I really gotta get moving today to get this out of my system. Still sore around the old abdomen but the pain meds work. My incisions are itchy and I think that's good sign. It does get better!
-
I had a hernia repair along with my band on Thursday. Getting better, not too much trouble with gas. My biggest problem is a sore abdomen but even that's getting better.
-
You're still healing exhaustion is probably normal. The best thing so far is that I AM getting rest. I would normally be running around like the energizer bunny never getting enough rest. Rest up, you'll get your strength back soon.
-
Sounds like everything is going well. I've not eaten since Thursday but I'll definitely try and get some Protein shake in today. Not very hungry but making sure I get my water in. I did have a little cranberry juice and water this morning and that felt good. Yesterday I felt awful but today I can tell I'm doing much better. Can't wait to be 1 month post op!!
-
I had my surgery on Thursday, August 23rd. OMG yesterday I had so many regrets the most pain was in my abdomen and I did have some mild vomitting, but I took the suppositories to inhibit vomitting and I've not had any more vomitting issues. I finally took some of my liquid hydrocodone and it has relieved the pain in my abdomen. Feeling much better than yesterday and probably will be much better tomorrow. Hang in there it does get better, I even passed a little gas! LOL
-
I'm on the 3rd day post op, my biggest complaint is my really sore throat and sore tummy. I just started using the breathing machine. I'll be sure to do this hourly I don't want to have pneumonia set in. i can't wait to be two weeks post op. I feel really bad, I'll get my butt moving again today. I've had a little gas pass maybe I can get more out today.
-
Day 2 after surgery really sore abdomen and throat. I had hernia repair along with band. I know I'll get better but now I don't feel so hot. Sipping water and going back to bed.

Good luck to you and wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm being banded tomorrow and YES having all type of emotional issues. Am I doing the right thing? I know this is normal so I will ignore my misgivings and concentrate on getting fine as wine for my next vacation! Size 6 I'm coming for you!!!! Being able to maybe run a 12 minute mile, you bet! -
Post Surgery But No Weight Loss
tflemon67 replied to Arizonakimc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You were banded less than a week ago, you're probably swelling. I wouldn't expect any loss this soon. Your body needs to heal. -
I'm on day 9 of the pre-op liquid diet and I have horrible stomach cramping and gas that can't be released! I don't drink that much milk and 9 days of mixing skim milk to these damn shakes has finally gotten to me. I'm hitting the treadmill as soon as I get home to see if I can't get this dang gas off my stomach. Ugh, come on Thursday get here before the pre-op diet starves and kills me! LOL
-
Just spoke with the surgery center to confirm the time I'm to show up for surgery on Thursday! OMG, in 48 hours I'll be banded. STUPID NERVOUS!!
-
I love the Unjury it mixes well. I've had the Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry. Vanilla is my favorite since I'm able to mix it with so many fruits. I've only had it with skim milk though, after my surgery on Thursday I'll have to mix it with water only for one week. I hope it doesn't taste too bad with only water!. I can't wait to get this done, counting down two more days! Also work is getting MUCH better. LOL
-
Try the Goya pureed fruits. I added passion fruit and blueberry to mine this morning. Yum!!
-
Got to remember to pick up the Hibicleanse today! Lord let it get here, I was almost so hungry I was thinking of re-scheduling but there is no way I'll do this pre-op diet again. I have to press on! Two more days, woo hoo!!
-
Day 8 of this DAMN pre-op Protein diet and I'm STARVING, STARVING!! lol At least I get one decent meal per day, I can't wait until din din time. I'll be banded on Thursday, August 23rd. I'm so hoping that I won't be hungry anymore. I think that's the worst part and I'm already stressed and crazy. I'll be fine I know, pre-surgery, new life jitters!

Good luck to you, my journey begins Thursday, August 23rd and I feel so stressed! Work is super busy and I have a new person starting today and too many folk out on vacation! LOL I know it's just nerves, I'm going to relax and look forward to Thursday. All will be well!
