rtbh155 got a reaction from Manda32830 in Totally messed up on liquid diet post op - help
Alright friends, I failed to prepare, so I was preparing to fail, and need some guidance/help. I went to a wedding today about a 4 hour drive (in the sticks), and thought I was prepared by bringing a premixed Protein Shake and a small container of Soup. I am about a week post op (ESG), so on a full liquid diet.< br />
I left both in my car while I went to the ceremony, social time and cocktail hour, planning to sneak away at various times to have a sip. Time flew by, much socializing occurred, and before I knew it, the soup had spoiled and the Protein shake was also undrinkable. At that point, I was absolutely starving and within an hour (once dinner was served), I was dizzy and shaking, even with sips of Water. I was worried about my well-being since I had to drive home later in the dark, so I had a few bites of soft sweet potato and tender meat, very very well chewed. I felt less lightheaded and made it back home safely, but feel truly terrible and worried that I messed up my stitches/sutures.
Can anyone provide any support? Any idea if that was enough to mess me up? I have been doing so well and am still motivated to stay on track, but I am anxious. My tummy aches a little but it has been aching after basically everything I “eat” except water. Thank you.

I did, and the office said that as long as I wasn’t having severe stomach pain to not be too worried. I am paranoid really only because of a failures group I am a part of who constantly talk about suturescoming lose and the stomach returning to it’s pre procedure size :( -

Thank you - this morning I went ahead and ordered a few emergency supplies for my car, including shelf stable Protein Powder and will leave them in the car with bottles of Water. It’s a new learning experience for me, and I thought I prepared sufficiently, but didn’t. Thank you so much for the information you gave me. I appreciate it. -

That makes sense - I seem to be feeling okay this morning so hopefully I’ve avoided the worst of it. Thank you. -

Thank you - I didn’t even think to ask for milk! That’s a great idea if I ever forget again, though I think I’ve definitely learned my lesson. -
