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!

Mine came 3 days after surgery and it was kinda early 😩😩

Thank you!

Yeah definitely regretting it. Had surgery on 8/28. Everything is hurting, I’m so nauseous and unable to drink much. I know this a process but now it seems like too much

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.

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

Yeah the pain is HORRIBLE!! I’ve cried everyday I’ve been here lol. I’m hoping a week from now this will be a distant memory

Guys I’m in a lot of pain. Everyone told me what to expect and still got the shock of my life lol. I’m ready for the pain to be over. Anyone who stop the pain meds after one day. You my friend are a super hero lol. I will post my full hospital stay in a few days lol

They called and moved my arrival time to 530 tomorrow morning.my nerves are so bad. I can’t believe this happening in less than 12hrs

I got mine time last Thursday however they had the time for my preop appt 8/21 but the nurse had already left by the time of my appointment. I’m scheduled for tomorrow morning 🤭

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.

You got this! Lots of jello and popsicles

Once they received it, it took about 2 business days

Glad everything went well 

If it wasn’t for my Xanax i would be LOOSING IT COMPLETELY lol. I’m excited, nervous, scared, everything!

Plz pray for me. I have a god fearing mom who is continuously praying for me, I’m praying for myself but any additional prayers would be amazing. I’m nervous and anxiety is through the roof! 3 days remaining until i undergo my first surgery.

Congratulations the time will go so fast

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.

That’s going to be me too. And I’m working Sunday and Monday this shall be interesting lol 🤦🏾‍♀️i have to be at the hospital at 830 on Tuesday

Congratulations almost a month away! The time will go so fast!

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 

8/28 twins we are ONE WEEK AWAY #nervous

Congratulations!!

Welcome! We have the same surgery date. Are you excited? Nervous?
