augustgirl reacted to Moon Princess in Sore stomach two week post op?
Thank you! That does give me some relief, I did take a lot of stairs yesterday so I've been really active, it could definitely be that.

augustgirl got a reaction from mamalisa268 in Food Comfort
I'm sooooo sorry you had to put your beautiful dog down. I know the feeling and it is horrible. Prayer and thoughts are with you. Try something other than food for comfort and see if it helps, warm soothing bath, indulge in trash tv show or movie, take a nap, go for a walk. Hope you heart heals soon. ❤️

augustgirl got a reaction from smyleetn in Do I tell or say nothing.
I didn't tell anyone except my husband. People at work kept asking why I was walking funny but that's it so far. My mom saw me cringe in pain a couple times but I said my back was bothering me. The only thing I wasnt prepared for about not telling anyone was I do feel alone in this a lot of the time. Especially since I did mine 2 days before thanksgiving so I missed our family dinner. But I am thankful for this site and all of you and your support. ❤️

augustgirl got a reaction from olamae in Compare to a c section
I haven't had a c section but I had 2 childbirths with tearing. This surgery was far more painful than both childbirths (one was over 27hours of labor) both with stiches. I was in pain (severe abdominal pain) for a good 2 weeks after right near my belly button. It is just starting to ease up where I don't need Tylenol ever 4 hours. Getting in and out of car still hurts bad. I am 2 and half weeks post op.

I had the same thing vomiting from the time I woke up from anesthesia to two full days post op. It gets better. I questioned myself and my decision also. I feel like it is the best decision I have ever made now! Good luck and congrats!

augustgirl got a reaction from Sherelle28441 in Only 4 days post op and STARVING!
Sometimes hunger is mistaken with acid. That happened to me. Once the acid hit it was bad, I had to switch acid reducers and drink maalox. After the acid was gone my hunger was gone. Check with your surgeon or team.

augustgirl got a reaction from im2dolce in 2 months since surgery 35lbs down and depressed
I think 35 pounds down is huge!! 239 is really not that big of a number so you will lose slower than some at higher weights. I wouldn't be discouraged by the way the camera made you feel. Try to distract yourself with looking at your son or other focus of the photos. Things that make you happy. Also the depression and emotions could be a big part of the hormone flux that accompanies this surgery. Try to keep you spirits up, walk more and get some fresh air. I feel similar some days and I try to distract myself and play with my kids and it makes me feel better.

augustgirl got a reaction from genn in Puréed food recipes!
This isn't really a recipe but I made it tonite on my first purée dinner and it was the best 'food' I ate in 3 weeks. I made my family rigatoni with turkey meatballs and broccoli. I puréed it! I had to add a bit of Water but it tasted really good! So I suggest if it's something you like preop (healthy and within the guidelines) then purée it and see how it is.

I am also about 2 weeks out and do have burp / gurgle noises after sipping anything. I was told this happens to most gastric patients.
