4 days post op

Hey guys

just a few concerns and positive ,, i am moving around Good no pain , been walking and getting my fluids in actually i don't feel hungry and  when i drink i don't feel full so what gives with that ?

been running a low grade fever on and off since surgery ,, I am just a little freaked out concerning a leak my Dr does not to a typical leak check as noted on other post , am i just freaking my own self out

Welcome to the losers bench. You won't feel "full" for a while because it take time for your new pouch to heal to be able to send signals to your brain that'll tell you your full. Also you won't feel full with liquids unless you try to down a bunch at a time which isn't a good idea. Just keep walking and sipping and let your DR. know of any unusual pains you might be experiencing that what they are there for to make sure you are OK. Don't stress yourself out to much. Merry Christmas and keep us posted on your progress.

hey man thanks for the info, the unusual feeling i have no pain is i can feel my intestines moving which is a good sign
 
i think I'm getting the  signal cause i have not eaten since the 19 of December and hell i am not hungry at all which to me is amazing

Happy Hoildays

Congrats~  I am a lil over 3 weeks and still have yet to feel like I am hungry...I eat, but mostly just to try things again and see if I can tolerate it.....

 Hey my Cajun Friend - glad to hear all is go'n well.  Just keep sip'n, walk'n, and do'n what you are do'n...you're on the right track...It will take several weeks before your healed up and regain 'true" feeling in your gut.  Keep an eye on the temp...you taking Tylenol?  If it is not cleared up by 7 days/a week post-op, let your Dr know, if you haven't already.

Merry Christmas!  Mike

Hey Mike,,

yes i am taking Tylenol on a as needed basis, i did call the dr and he said if it goes above 101 give him a call but it is staying around 99 so all good,

when am i out of the woods on leaks ?

concern right now is energy level been on clears since the 19th , just ready for monday i go to thicker liquids for a week   look out smoothie king lol




Merry Christmas

I would suggest you check the nutrition facts on Smoothie King before eating anything from there.  Not really very nutritious, especially compared to what you can whip together at home.  If you were an RNY patient, the sugar content would likely cause "dumping".  Still probably not a great idea to have that much sugar...
