    Hi guys!! Just reporting some stats for you all! HW: 240 SW: 235 CW: 216 5'4 I am 13 days post op, the weight is flying off and I'm going back to work today. Still some soreness on the left side, I also had hiatal hernia repair so my surgeon said this soreness, which feels like a runners cramp in my side could take up to a month to FULLY go away. Sometimes it's gone but then I lift something, stretch the wrong way etc and it comes back. Lol. Other than that doing pretty good. I am on purée foods and tolerating them fine. Had cottage cheese this morning. Yummy! I will post pics shortly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  7. When does the discomfort stop after surgery?

    carlissa_RN replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    I was also sleeved May 27th and I had a follow up with my surgeon today and I have the same exact discomfort in my left side of my abdomen. Doc said it could take about a month to FULLY go away. It was gone yesterday but then I picked up my 5 year old daughter and I'm back to soreness today. It feels as if I ran a marathon, the runners cramp in my side. Other than that no pain. I'm going back to work tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I STILL have left sided abdominal pain, feels just like I ran a mile.....like a side cramp. Had CTA of chest and it was negative. Doctor said it could ache for a month or so. Yesterday it was gone but I lifted my 5 year old daughter yesterday and now sore again. Ugh. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  12. Digestion issues?

    carlissa_RN replied to angelb429's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    I was sleeved 5/27 and still no bowel movement, except for 3-5 loose stools that I had the first week, other than that nothing! I am moving to purée soft foods tomorrow after my follow up with MD tomorrow. I haven't had any solids, except 2 yogurts so I'm not that worried, yet! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  24. Discouraged, 15days post op. So hard getting things down..... do things get better ?

    carlissa_RN replied to tryingtobemybest's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am post op day 10 now and haven't even started eggs or yogurts yet. I'm jealous. I'm on Protein shakes, sf Popsicles, Water and more water and broths and tomato Soup....haven't tried anything else yet. I have a follow up with my surgeon June 8th and he said at that time I can start mushies. So far though the only problem I'm having is when I drink or I get the sharp gas pain that I can feel all the way through to my intestines and it goes away. No other time do I have gas. I wonder how long that will last. Oh yeah and LOTS of LOUD GAS with the drinking but nothing else when there is nothing in my mouth. Weird. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  25. Complications

    carlissa_RN replied to krae_98's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Omg I'm sorry for your rough time. Sometimes these things happen, as you know as an RN, I'm also an RN. Don't let this discourage you, you will get pumped back up and be on your way to recovery very soon! Hang in there.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
