Post Op eating

[Kaz50]

hi all

I’m Day 4 post op and struggling with bloating, wind and pain. I’m trying to drink at least 1 litre a day in smal sips and had part of a milk supplement drink mornings and small bowl of soup tea times but the pain is becoming unbareable.
Surgeon recommended sucking ice cubes but do you think eating small spoons of ice cream might help?

I’m getting to the point that I don’t even want to drink sips of water for fear of pain. X

Try and move around a little if you can it will help with the wind. Small ice cubes might help. If you fancy ice cream have some chick what ever helps xx

Anything is worth a try Chick I know it’s uncomfortable just sip anything you can . I hope you get a comfortable night sweetheart xx

I was told not to use a straw.
Apple or orange juice 50/50 with water
Milky coffee
Keep moving and sipping

So pleased your feeling brighter today . Before you know it! all will be a distant memory hun. Just take it steady or you will crash and burn. Just get those fluids do

Defo had a better day with far less pain
Still feeling very bloated so fluids still not the best they could be but I’m getting there.
Still can only tolerate very small amounts of milk based meals, literally 20mls of yoghurt drink and 6 teaspoons of soup today as well as tea, and water. X

Good to hear your doing better today, fluids are the most important thing in the early days xx

You will do hunni you have to remember when you had your op they filled you full of air poked about in your tum. Then stapled it lasered it and good knows what else. Your little pouch has to heal all your tummy muscles will be yelping. It’s a major op babe, your doing really well few more days and you will feel so much better. Your intake of food is good tea counts as fluids it’s pretty much all I could drink post op that and milk. Your doing really well pat on the back for you Chick xx

I was so lucky I didn’t suffer with any wind pain! I struggled with dry mouth and being thirsty all the time so I bought myself some of the mr freeze ice pops, I’ve also made my own with sugar free squash and water which I love now! Hope your feeling better xx

Hi Georgina

I am feeling much better thanks. I’ve bought some freezer pops too as wasn’t drinking enough but now able to tolerate more now the wind and pain have eased.
Not sure if I’m ‘eating’ enough thou. Have a small liquid yoghurt drink for breakfast. 1/3 to half tin of soup at lunch or a protein milk drink and homemade thin soup for tea.
Since starting my LRD and post op I’ve lost around 12kgs so I’m really pleased with my progress so far. X

 

[Irene44]

Sounds like your doing really well now hun. Cracking weight loss xx
