Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion



Recommended Posts

Sleeved Monday July 23rd. The gas pain in my shoulder was real. Weird experience with that but walking and standing straight relieved it until it passed. Looking forward to this learning journey of forming and maintaining new healthy habits

Hey all,

Ive been looking for something to carry my drinks, Protein powders, and pills for when I go back to work. I know I will still be needing a Protein Drink for some time to hit my daily goal. I can’t seem to find anything like this. I found one thing on Kickstarter and funded it. Of course that is not certain. Has anyone else found something like this that would carry everything?

This is the carry-all I got on Amazon. It carries portioned meals. pills. shakes, everything. And keeps them cool all day. I love it. http://a.co/8jDsGQU

I week post op here.... I’m having a hard time adjusting... anyone else??

Hi there. The first week is rough. I am just two weeks post op and still having trouble. Get depressed and now having trouble swallowing my Vitamins. It gets better. Some days are better than others. The people on these boards are very supportive and helpful. You aren’t alone. Anything specific you are struggling with?

I'm now post op day 5.. What a roller-coaster.. Can't seem to a Protein Shake that agrees with my stomach. ☹️
Have you tried the Protein waters? My surgery buddy struggled with shakes at first and was able to handle the Premier Protein Water better.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
