Is this what being stuck feels like
utkscvol1 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cannot believe this! Today is my first full day on solid liquids. I has surgery June 13. I had maybe 1/4 cup on instant mashed potatoes with some unflavored protein in it and now I feel like I have a horrendous burp with a bit of nausea. I really tried to eat small bites an slow and did fine with them last night. Do ya'll think I'm stuck and if so how long til it passes. -

You are so not alone! When I woke up that's the first place I felt it was my right shoulder!! Been the worst part of the surgery! -

So that feeling finally went away last night and I had a pudding cup. Now on to today, I drank maybe 1/2 cup of my protein shake and have had I pudding cup and am having a different type of pain- mainly in the middle of my back- I'm assuming this is still gas related. I'm extremely tired today as well. Second day back at work and haven't slept the best the past 2 nights. -

Thanks- I hope I haven't screwed something up! -
They also gave me my next appointment which will be July 10- they said I would get a fill that day.

Just came from my follow up with the surgeon:) they have released me to solid liquids! So happy! I can have instant mashed potatoes, grits, cream of wheat, yogurt, pudding, cream soups. I stopped an bought some unflavored protein to add in with my food. I will get to go on solid foods July 3:) right in time for the holiday:)

I had surgery on the 13th. Last night was the first night I slept in my bed. I chose my recliner due to gas discomfort. It was, for me, the most comfortable place.

Bowel Movements Post Surgery

I haven't slept in my bed since surgery Thursday. I've been in the recliner. I work up with a bit of pain in one shoulder this am but it was gone by 10- none since then:) -
After reading numerous posts- it's really strange how there is such difference in post op diets. Why are some allowed to start on other food so soon before others? Makes ya wonder why there is such a difference.

Lucky! I'm thinking of going back on my Protein shakes tomorrow. It's day 6 one day early, but I am starving!

It took me 4 days post op before having one but mine have been- of course all I'm getting in are liquids. -
Banded on Friday

I was banded Thursday and just today started to feel like myself- with the exception of being extremely hungry -
Pre-Op Shakes are AWFUL!
utkscvol1 replied to michpell39's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeons office also said to use bariatric advantage. I have found numerous flavorful recipes with the vanilla! -
Sitting at home unable to do much has my mind racing from boredom. However I just realized in 13.7 pounds I will be in Onederland!! I haven't been there in 13 years! Motivation in itself!

Pain in my left shoulder
utkscvol1 replied to debpaige's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is in my right shoulder. I used ice up until yeaterday and am now using heat. Will be glad when it's gone! -
I hate to call my doc to ask this on the weekend- but how long after surgery before you had one? I had surgery Thursday and still haven't. All I am getting in is water, apple juice, and chicken bouillon.
-
Every doctor is different- I failed on mine a couple of times- however I chose wisely. The first 2 days were the worst! I ended up eating a grilled chicken breast and steamed broccoli for a meal. Another day I ended up eating a lean cuisine. Then the day before I went on my clear liquid diet I had a hot dog. Not encouraging you to do so by any means- just don't want you to feel like your alone. I was banded last Thursday.

less than 5 hours until banding!!!

Ok so how many times did you guys call to see if you were approved before the final answer. Tomorrow will be a week since my case was opened with the insurance for approval- thinking about calling tomorrow just to check the status.
