When did you feel good post op



Recommended Posts

The rumbling is after I swallow drinks or my sugar free pop

If you're drinking sugar-free soda (pop) the rumbling is probably excess gas. My surgeon and nutritionists said no carbonation or caffeine for quite some time due to the healing process.

:unsure:Hey all ! I was just sleeved on Wed 8/10/11. I had the lap band removed and the sleeve done at the same time. Surgery wasn't the greatest. although the doc say's i did a great job.. i had ALOT of nausea. If i was awake i had nausea.eww My blood Pressure shot up high high.. and heart rate lowlow.. but all is stable and i'm home ! i'm trying to back off of pain pills because they do tend to make me sick to my stomach although knock on wood i have not vomited. I did come home with a drain which Doc said he will be removing on thursday when i have my one week follow up...I'm having a really hard time getting liquids in. What i've been doing because i figured i need some kind of Protein is drinking the carnation sugar free instant Breakfast. It's taking me almost an enitre day to get in 8 -16oz but i'm taking a sip here and sip there. It feels like 2 sips is all i can take before i feel so full i can't stomach it ! i'm constantly napping.. Please tell me this will get better soon !

I was sleeved last Monday too and I was still feeling blah and layed around all day today in my pjs sleeping some of the time. My husband told me not to go to work tomorrow. It was supposed to be my first day back, but I just don't feel like I can. Maybe Tuesday will be better. I'm looking forward to being back to normal too...

Hello I'm Jamee from Texas and I was sleeved on Tuesday . I don't think this is normal but I'm STARVING. When I try and drink my liquids my tummy grumbles and hurts. Is it horrible that I'm looking forward to eating soft solids?

Jamee, Is it stomach hunger? What were your first couple of days like?

Is anyone taking Vitamins? My doctor suggested I go to bariatricadvantage.com where they have assembled nutrition kits to his specifications for first 30 days of post-op. I noticed the same brand in my local independent pharmacy. Has anyone tried these drinks?

DallasMom, you definitely need to be taking Vitamins. There's another thread in this forum that talks about what different people take - but basically you'll need a Multivitamin (some docs recommend more than 1 a day) and Calcium supplement daily, and B12 once weekly. My doc also wants me to take B1 once weekly. If your multivitamin doesn't have Iron then I'm to take an iron supplement as well.

I'll be purchasing all of the Vitamins next week. Thanks for the input. I'll ask about B1.

How is your recovery going? It looks like you just recently had surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
