3 days post-op, quick question



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all! So I was sleeved on Wednesday and I have a quick question: Is it normal to be able to drink around 8 oz of a Protein Shake in 30 minutes? I'm still on mostly liquids however I'm starting pureed soon. I'm just worried this is too much since I'm only 3 days post-op. Sorry if this is a stupid question or has already been posted.

Thanks and God bless! :)

it's liquids so it will pass through fairly quickly. I'd guess you're one of those who the swelling is going down more quickly. I was like that too.

are you having pain or discomfort at this pace?

No, I haven't had any pain since I first came out of surgery. My incisions are somewhat uncomfortable but that's about it. Although now that I'm sitting here it's more like an hour, not 30 min to drink it. I guess it just feels faster.

I wasn't able to until after a few weeks but remember others were able to.

I had little trouble drinking any fluids, even cold water! When I saw my surgeon on Thursday for my 1 week post op, i told him how easy it is for me and he said GOOD! I told him my first soft food meal of scrambled eggs went down too easy and he laughed and reminded me that I am used to the lap band fullness I had for 10 years and that is why this seems easier

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
