2 Weeks 2 Day Post Op..



Recommended Posts

And Dr, already started me on regular food but just be cautious.. I had the Iband done so for another 2 weeks i will have no restrictions untill my first fill on the 26th. My question/problome is Today for lunch i hade captin d's and i finished 2 pc. of fish(with batter on it) I have been feeling sick with like a burning and extream fullness in my stomach. I have a feeling that i might have over stuffed my belly. I did take 2 maalox and tis hasent helped at all :( Im not eating for the rest of the night hoping this will eventally subside.. Anyone else experienced this feeling.. I feel so guilty now.

Rachel, my doctor put me on mushies 2 weeks post-op, perhaps the fish without the crust would be better for your new stomach. I can have soft, not fried fish in the mushies stage. Good Luck!

Wow...seems way too soon for Captain Ds. I am 2 weeks out today. I can eat some regular foods but am pretty careful. Have made a couple of mistakes and have thrown it up - its all about learning lessons. I, for one, have to avoid all fast food because I don't do it in moderation. Still sticking to mushy stuff for the most part.

I'm a week post surgery and still on liquids. I won't even be on mushies for another 2 weeks. I would tend to agree with the others, I'm guessing the fish with the crust was just too much for your tummy to handle this soon. I'm sure it'll subside as the food slowly passes.

I know I feel uncomfortably full very easily right now. I had a cup of strained cream of chicken Soup a half hour ago, and I still feel like I just over-ate a Thanksgiving dinner. I'm that full.

Give your tummy a break tonight, walk if you can to help it move through faster, and maybe go a little gentler for a couple weeks.

I am a week and half post op and still on liquids. I would think fried foods might upset your stomach. Give it some time, I sure you would feel better soon. GL

I was banded on 12/21 and can eat soft foods as tolerated. I can only eat so much and then I get a full feeling and don't swallow so well. If I pushed through that and kept eating I think I would feel some of the things you are describing. I think by tomorrow you will feel better, however, I would portion out your food so you know how much your new pouch can comfortably handle. It feels like each new thing is a test for me. I can not do fried foods at all. The only meat I can eat right now is chili and I had a quesadilla with chicken that was kinda ground up. Good luck.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
