I just now got to start eating soft foods and I took a few bites started to hiccup and figured I should maybe stop just in case that was my “signal” that I was full. Honestly I’m afraid to try to eat because I don’t want to over do it. I’m following all my NUT orders for eating but still just worried about not getting a feeling of fullness or whatever it is that says “hey stop”.

I’ve tried hot/cold/in between and have issues the last two days with it all :/

I go for a follow up today and I’ll be asking for sure! I’ll put on here what they say.

It’s just strange because I’ve had no issues until the last 2 days or so.

Im 2 weeks post op tomorrow and having some issues with water, propel, or any liquid. I can keep it down but it feels like it’s getting stuck on the way down or like I’ve got air trapped. I’m not using straws or anything like that and taking baby sips. It hurts in my throat and chest area. I have a appointment tomorrow at 1 pm but I really can’t go that long not drinking anything. Anyone else experience this? It’s happening with any drink.

So I’ve been seeing a ton of posts about people feeling rough after surgery or hopeless and I just want to say it does get better! Be strong and hang in there because you are worth it. Your reasons for having this surgery are worth it. Your health is worth it. Ignore the haters because they love to see you fail. I was so down about my surgery and honestly I still question it but I am only 2 weeks out. Today was the best day yet though because I just weighed and I’m 5 pounds from the 100s! Take the small victories where you get them in the first few weeks and celebrate having a new life to look forward to! There may be bumps in the road but you are strong enough to get through it and thrive. I hope everyone who reads this has a great day tomorrow and everyday after. Just keep your head up if you are struggling because like I said, YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Oh he has been absolutely amazing to me through it all. He’s my biggest supporter other than my mom.

I have a great support system and they said no bleed internally so they don’t know why I had blood. Follow up with surgeon in next few days so hope that goes good

First visit and I live with my fiancé

First visit and I live with my fiancé

I did but it was due to not sleeping well in my recliner. I started back in bed and was feeling much better. No pain meds either. Deer came out of nowhere and I didn’t see it until I hit it. Car is totaled and now I’m in ER for watery bloody stools... been a great day. ??‍♀️

Yes they said just to make sure I go in if I start having pain

I had my first wreck today on the way to work. 6 am and I smack a deer and air bag hit me straight in the stomach. Everything is okay but was terrified I screwed my stomach up.

I hope both our days are better next shift lol. I felt like I’d walked 10,000 miles. Oh well though it’s good for me I guess lol.

Well today was my first day back to work and I pulled a 8 hour shift. Holy cow am I tired and my legs hurt so bad. Probably just still exhausted from surgery I guess.

Thank you so much and congratulations on how amazing you are doing! Keep up your hard work!

Thank you!

I never said my weight wasn’t “really dropping”. I was asking when everyone else started to really notice just because I’m curious to see the differences throughout people who have had surgery. I wasn’t expecting to lose even the 10 honestly in the first week. I was expecting like maybe if I was lucky 5. So It was a surprise to see that much gone already and I’m happy about it. I don’t get why everyone’s commenting like I’m complaining because I’m not. It was simply a question because I’m curious.

I don’t weigh myself daily and it doesn’t really effect me to not see it drop. Like I said, I lost 10 lb so far and I just weighed today at my 1 week post op because I weigh weekly. It was a huge shock to see that I’d lost 10 lbs in one short week so I was extremely happy. But I definitely like your advice on not weighing every day. Thank you!

Wow! Well congratulations on hitting 100 lbs! Also thank you for the response! I know everyone’s different on how fast they lose but I still like hearing about everyone’s experience with when they noticed.

I have patience. I’m just curious when everyone started noticing or seeing their numbers really drop. I’m happy with what I’ve lost so far 10 lb is great for 1 week out. But thanks.

I’m just curious as to when everyone started really seeing their weight drop? I’m 1 week post op and I’ve lost 10 lb so far.

I may need to try that. Thank you!

I hope it’ll get better once I get my drain tube removed. I have to keep it for 2 weeks and I really think that’s contributing to the issue sleeping in bed.

Yeah that is what I’m hoping for. It’s very strange to be okay on only liquids. In my head I’m like “ why am I not hungry? “. I don’t physically feel it but mentally I think I need to eat.
