When does this get better



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post op and feel terrific.....although still get tired more easily. I think by week two I was feeling pretty good....not back to my normal but pretty good just the same. My energy level is increasing steadily and I really do feel good.

Ok now I have weird squirty #2s - sorry for the TMI. I'm guessing it's from the anesthesia but YUCK

Thanks for all the information my surgery is on Monday. Questions did anyone have to wear a belt and are you taking Vitamins already ?

How are this week's patients feeling today?

I am very very tired. Distressed by the drain but starting to get used to it. My external staples hurt today a bit but otherwise the pain has been minimal. I've been taking the anti-nausea and Tylenol and Prevacid but otherwise nothing. Was told to stay off Vitamins for a couple more weeks and am not wearing a belt.

Hitting my current goals of walking for 15-20 mins three times a day and drinking 36 oz of G2 and Water.

I feel your pain! I had surgery Tuesday so I am 2 days post. Every sip hurts. I just think your pain control is much better in the hospital!

Today is a little bit better. I can't take the Vitamins I bought. I found a sample packages of bariatric fusion softchews and I can tolerate that much better. Sipping Water isn't going so well. I've managed to sip 1/2 of a Protein shake. Hopefully I can get more in.

Try liquids at different temps - it might help. broth, tea, sf popsicles, crystal light, infused Water - try different things and see what you can tolerate better. You need to stay hydrated or you'll end up back in the hospital!

I'm going to Rita Italian Ice later. Its one of the few sugar free things I can eat without stomach cramps and headaches. Thank you for the suggestions. I am trying different tempts and liquids.

Many of us had the hernias. I sometimes wonder why some of us have it easy and others go through these problems. I was on a natural high being sleeved. I could not even st,ay home, never had nausea or any problems, my husband and I. I feel bad for those with a bad experience.

I so wish I had a good post op story. You're lucky! I feel crappy. Yesterday was a high point until I had some pudding, downhill from then.

Different for everyone, two weeks out and you should feel someone normal again

FYI, what I didn't know is that your hormones go crazy, like as if your prego, at least that's how it was for me!!! So feel free to cry!

Best of luck... Hang in there !!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
