KIP-MI

Just got my date today...Dec 5!

My surgery was Tuesday. Just a couple of oddities. I’m noticing this sound/sensation that reminds me of eating pop rocks. Any one else? Also I’m wonder if it is normal to not have bowel movements during the clear liquid phase.

So sorry to read that you are in pain. Are you feeling better yet? What was the drainage tube for?

Question: how long do you wear the binder?

I didn’t have a BM for 11 days . I was told it’s normal during the liquids phase also the pain medication can constipate . I was told that now I should go about 3x per week since I’m on puréed foods now and if I’m not I should take a laxative to assist me . I wouldn’t worry just mention at your follow up.

Make Sure to get your fluids in! I have heard of it happening though.

Yup, I weighed myself the day I had the surgery when I was walking around with the nurse and it said I gained 4 pounds. Took a few days to lose it but totally normal. Lots of swelling and fluids going on!

My surgery is tomorrow, November 24! Im in NH

Just got my date today...Dec 5!

I went to Sams Club today to buy clear Protein Drinks. This was my first experience in a grocery type store since I began my pre op diet. It was the first time my cravings were overwhelming. Then I watched my sister eat one of those huge hotdogs. It smelled wonderful. I just sipped my unsweetened iced tea and thought about how hard this is. Then we started talking about our plans for Christmas and I felt better. Soft foods stage comes six days before so I can look forward to that...if all goes well that is. I hope I get to the point where food just isn’t that big of a deal to me.

Heading to the hospital for a 7am surgery. Good luck to everyone.

This is from the info they gave me...hope it helps.

“Consume between 2-4 oz at each meal/snack. Your stomach will be able to hold 1oz of food at a time so eat slowly. The portion you will be able to tolerate at one time is dependent on the consistency of the food. You you will be able to tolerate more liquids than solid food. Each meal/snack should take approximately 30 min to eat.”

I hear you! I can't even keep all of my Water down yet and I'm still missing food! Has anyone else noticed how every other commercial on TV is for food? It's become a running joke in our house!

I can't wait until I'm able to eat yogurt or SOMETHING!
