4 Days After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm on the fourth day after surgery and still on Clear Liquids. Having trouble with head hunger. What works for me is the doc said I could have sugar free fudge pops and that helps me head and physical hunger big time. Can't wait until I can eat those mashed bananas!

No pain just sore stomach. I don't regret it because I know that I will be able to eat again. I just have to get through the hump of not eating for about 7 more days.

You'll be fine! Just follow the directions and don't cheat. Congratulations on coming through the surgery! Fight off the head hunger, get through this liquid part and in a couple of weeks you can get on the creamy liquids, so you'll be able to have Soups, cottage cheese, really squished egg salad, refried Beans with melted cheese. sugar free popsicles are tolerated really well, just don't eat too fast, take your time. You go girl!

Looks like we had surgery around the same time. I don't have much of an appetite right now but I'm eating the broth, sf juice, Water n Protein Shakes. My hubby has me on a routine; we walk we eat we rest we suck the tube and repeat. My energy is starting to pick up and I'm feeling better. No regrets!

I'm taking a little bit longer to bounce back as I had to stay in hospital for 2 nights. Day of surgery I was fine. Next day vomiting the whole day. Dont know why I was so sick. May have been the anesthesia.

My hubby of 45 years has been very supportive as well. When you get a good one it makes your recovery so much easier. I tell him that since I was not the starter wife (never met her) I will b known as the keeper wife!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
