cateckert

Now that I am officially post surgery, I'm thinking I should have maybe done this earlier. My pain tolerance isn't what it used to be. 🙄

I’m so glad you shared this. I’m working to get to this point. I’m six weeks post-op now, and I’m a slow healer (always been this way) but looking forward to a year from now and encouraging others.
Congratulations to you and BEST wishes on continued and lifelong success.

Chrissy C someone said to try sugar free popsicles and different temp of Water. Maybe that will help

I’m 3 weeks today and I’m 26lbs

Surgery was on Monday. Came home from hospital late Tuesday, which was good because the hospital didn't have anything other than Water and veggie broth packets to eat (they kept bringing me Jello - which I can't eat because I'm a pescatarian). So far, so good. Got my Protein and liquids in yesterday and am on track for today. Took my first Vitamin today. Maybe over did the walking, though. I'm tired because I'm having trouble sleeping - I usually toss and turn, and can only sleep on my right side now. But that'll pass. All in all, I feel a lot better than I thought I would.

Question for everyone that has had surgery recently, does drinking fluids get easier? It so difficult and what if I can’t get enough fluids in then I’ll have to come back to the hospital. I’m just worried and a little anxious

Hey Chrissy, how are you doing? I’m on 3 day post op and I’m a bit better than day one and 2. I can actually sip enough fluids so that I’ll be able to leave the hospital this evening.

Hi cateckert. It definitely gets easier. Just try to drink what you can. sugar free Popsicles helped me a lot at first! I’m almost three weeks out and I can comfortably drink. Good luck and don’t stress to much! As long as you’re peeing that’s a good sign!

Home today. Surgery was yesterday. I’m wondering when everyone starts their Vitamins? My doc said within the first two weeks but I’d like a more specific time frame than that.

I'm just making it home from the hospital. Everything has been ok so far. Oh except for that sneeze I thought was going to kill me. I'm trying to get my Fluid in. I've already have 32 oz today. I'm going to try to drink this Protein Water so I can get a 2 for 1

I'm having surgery October 30, 2018 at 7am. Scared and excited

Today’s my day! I’m excited and very nervous. My surgery starts at 7am. Wish me luck!😬

God bless you have this I'm 4 days post op lost 11lbs already. The recovery is hard but I know it's temporary. You'll be fine.😉

Good luck!

I made my own shakes 22 grams of Protein from Greek yogurt 40 grams from protein powder and strawberries and ice

Hey Vicky, I was sleeved 10/23. I had the nausea real bad too and still do if I take my Vitamin. Tomorrow I get to start the Soup phase, so I will retry the Vitamins then. Nothing is worse than nausea, imho NOTHING. So sorry you are going through that. My surgeon prescribed me chewable nausea pills, and even suppositories if it got bad. I haven't turned to those yet and do not intend to, lol. But if yours is that bad, there are more options/help for you and you should call and ask for something better for relief. Hang in there, my friend!!!!!

I’m glad everything went ok Chrissy C!

It is easier to lose hair and buy a wig , than to hide behind something so your size won't forever memorialized in pictures.😪

I just got my baby fine, thinning hair cut yesterday. I was waiting to have my extensions put bacon but there just wasn't enough left so...here it is...

Hello!
5th day after surgery but only my second day on Clear Liquids as I had a lot of complications after surgery - it was rough, I have to be honest.
My doctor gave me the goal of at least 40 ounces of liquids to start and I'm slowly trying to get through it but is it normal to always feel full and bloated? Even just on clear liquids?
I'm currently drink broth, juice and Water for now (mixed with some medication) and will start on full liquids (shakes and soups) soon but just wanted to ask if this full feeling eventually goes away? or do you feel this all day? or is it because my stomach is still swollen and healing? Even if I'm not drinking I still feel full.
I take small sips and usually try to finish about 200 ml every hour- am I drinking too much too soon?
Thank you!

Well my surgery went well. I have a lot of pain. Maybe from the gas they put in. They gave me pain meds in recovery through IV but now they are giving me crushed pills. I'll be here in the hospital for two days. I did drink 3 oz of Water and didn't feel sick
