4 Days Post-Op

My surgery went well. I had some nausea on Day 1 and 2. Mostly, a sour taste in my mouth and spitting up saliva (less than 5 times total). No vomiting, thank goodness. I think it was my body trying to get rid of the anesthesia. By Day 2 night I was feeling pretty ok. No real pain, except for some gas pressure on Day 1 and 2. I would classify that more like discomfort more than pain though. I had no problem walking since Day 1. Day 3 - I was only able to get in about 16 ounces of liquid in. I will try to double that today. It's so hard because you get a tightness in your chest when you drink to fast or often. I'm feeling pretty good, just a little week. My incisions are just a little sore, but no real pain. No bruising whatsoever - really clean looking incisions actually.

 

I weighed in at 199 - so about 5-6 lbs. post-op for a total of about 11 lbs. (with 10 day pre-op diet).

Oh Healthiernewme, you are the first person I've found who had surgery the same day as me - May 9th, right? So far my experience has been just like yours, really quite easy. The difference is that I've only lost 1 lb. post-op, but I'm hoping that will change very soon! Best of luck on your journey to a healthier new you!

Had mine may 9th too!! Same story except I did throw up from nausea the day after surgery. I'm doing well with the liquids. Love my cream of tomato soup!!

Hi Kohe, I'm happy you found us! I came close to vomiting while I was brushing my teeth the second morning post-op but managed to settle down. I found I have to really limit fruit juices because they're too acidic. That cream of tomato soup sounds yummy!

Hi there... Yes, my surgery was May 9. I'm doing pretty good. How about you guys?

I feel good but since I'm still on clear liquids I am very hungry much of the time and quite weak in the morning until I get a good bit of "food" in me which takes a couple of hours. I'm ready to hit the treadmill around noon but not before. Protein shakes are going to be a welcome addition to my diet!
