3 days post op 49 yrs old & would like some friends



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post-op and find myself thinking CONSTANTLY about food/surgery/me! My grown daughter is home visiting and I worry about cooking for her. I get so annoyed with myself for worrying about those types of things. I need to take care of me. I've always taken care of everyone else and put myself last. Look where that got me! I'm quite sure that the people that are aware of our journey want us to take care of ourselves first. Guilt never got me anywhere....but self care will. I wish you the best with your W.L.S. You are most definitely worth it.

My recovery is going good & on track I suppose other than I started my period the day after surgery after not having one for over a year now I'm on day 3 of having it and doesn't seem to be getting any lighter?? Good grief if I don't have enough to deal with already!! Lol. Going to call drs office in morning to make sure this is normal. Other than that just sipping away at my fluids.

It's very normal - it's from all the hormones being released by burning fat. I got mine 3 days post-op too. It's heavier than usual - probably due to hormones and the blood thinners I am on (2 shots a day). Hang in there!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
