I just had a BM and my surgery was 8/28. I was advised to get a stool softener because of the pain meds. Took 2 days after taking them to get one Ive never been so happy in my life!

What day you on? -
So my bypass surgery was on 8/28. Everything went well I woke up in the worst pain. Luckily they gave me a pain pump. I just had to remember to push it. Lol I asked everyone what to expect and still wasn’t prepared for the pain. Walking is very tiresome and talk about drinking these liquids is difficult. Sipping every 15 minutes seem impossible. But I’m not hungry. I’m able to pas gas and burping since day 2 but no BM (sorry TMI). Also my period came down super early wasn’t expecting to be bleeding from two areas😢😢 right now. I’m only sleeping for about 4/5 hours wake up, walk, bathroom, check drain then sip and surf the internet til i fall back to sleep. This has been difficult but I’m so happy i got it done i can’t wait to be fully healed and can get back to my normal life. Anyone waiting your day. It’s ok to be scared, i wouldn’t have known i had surgery had it not been for the pain I felt like i woke up soon as they put me to sleep lol. Your going to regret it at first but keep pushing through! Ps if you stopped taking the pain meds after day 1 and didn’t need help once you got home your a champ! I came and stayed at my moms and my little cousin has been a lifesaver. Also it has helped having a surgery twin and literally talking everyday and sharing experiences. Good luck to those who have upcoming surgeries, speedy recovery and I’m officially on the loser bench.

What have you been putting off?
Auroragirl4489 replied to shazz73's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven’t told anyone but being overweight has prevented me from planning a wedding or having children. Now that I’ve had the surgery once i get to my goal weight I want to do both of those things! I also want to go on outdoor adventures and not worry about being out of breath or being in pain -

Was originally scheduled for a 830 arrival but they called a little while ago stating to be there at 530. I have horrible anxiety this is why I’m asking to prepare myself. -

Guys I’m getting nervous. Surgery is Tuesday morning. I’m so scared. My first surgery ever. I’ve wanted this surgery for years and now finally doing it. At my preop they said i would have a NG tube left in until Wednesday morning. I’m freaking out!!!! Did anyone else have this waking up from surgery. Someone who has had the surgery calm my nerves lol. -

Not loose Weight pre op
Auroragirl4489 replied to lili@ne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost 9lbs in a couple weeks just by eating egg whites for Breakfast or shake, Protein Shake for lunch and salad with chicken or shrimp (any Protein if you eat red meat or pork) for dinner and then eat Jello for Snacks and popsicles. Cut carbs out completely. Also no sodas or juices. If you are serious about this you will stick with the diet plan created. Count your calories i never go over 1000. And insurance is very strict. Good luck -
