    Feeling Great

    Congratulations on your success! I"m 15 days post op and have good days and bad days, the scale is trending down, but I feel tired, sore, and not quite like myself. Reading your update reminded me that I will feel better.
  4. my surgery was 2/15. I always feel a little lightheaded in the morning, and a sour stomach. I usually get up take my protonix, and sip on some warm tea. The only pain I have is on my left side, between two of my incision sites. Congrats on your surgery, well wishes for a speedy recovery.

    Hydration issues

    I really just had no taste at all. I usually like ice cold plain Water, but now I need a little crystal light for some flavor. I think I'm just healing. I would just concentrate on drinking more.

    1 week out questions

    Hi, I'm only a 11 days post op, I started my chewable Multivitamin with Iron at 1 week post op, and then I don't start taking my calcium with Vitamin D till six weeks post op. I seems each doctor has it's on timeline. All my information was in my nutrition class.

    Hydration issues

    I'm 11 days post op, and Water, crystal light is just now starting to taste good, I finally got over 64 oz yesterday, and felt amazing last night and this am. Hoping to keep it up past 64 oz. I bought some Fairlife milk last week, because it was on sale, I really like it, the addtional Protein is a plus

    How concerned should I be?

    My back by my left scapula was hurting most of the morning, but now it's gone. I think I over did it yesterday. It's always good to check with your doctor.

    I cannot decide if I should do this or not

    I had those same feelings, even when I was about to go under for anesthesia, I prayed for God to take the lead. I have tried the last 20 years of my 48 year old life to regain what I had lost with being overweight. I did the research, talked it over with my husband, prayed and thought hard about it, and in the end made the right choice for me. I'm 8 days post op, and I'm not feeling that bad. I found this website after surgery which has been a great support to me. I don't feel like I am doing this alone. I feel connected. You'll make the right decision that is right for you. Best Wishes in whatever your decision is.
  11. My husband and kids know, we all live in the same house, and my close co-workers at work. I don't plan to tell any others. I do work in a hospital, so people know that have cared for me. Most people already comment that I eat clean, and never have the cakes and Cookies that everyone else at work is eating. It's my choice to share, do what makes you comfortable.

    How long did you take off from work?

    surgery 2/15, feel pretty good, Water doesn't taste that good anymore, or the fact I was use to gulping it down and now sipping, not sure, I'm off till April- I thought till March, but he is a stickler for 6 weeks, I have STD and time saved, so it's good.

    Pain

    Don't wait till the pain is so bad, nothing takes the pain away when you wait too long. Take them as prescribed and you'll do fine.
