Ruby Hernandez

Hello Everyone! Surgery was a success, and I am feeling fine, but never did I expect for my phone to make me so dizzy after surgery. My voice is so rhaspy and my face is so droopy, anyone else feel the same after surgery? Also, sorry for the inactivity. I’ve just been sleeping and drinking... sleeping and drinking. 💤

Guess who’s leaving the hospital 😊

Ruby, so far everything is good. I've been walking sipping on Water, chicken broth, Jello (not my favorite, too sugary) I just now got some carnation Breakfast milk. [emoji4]

So glad to see Vavoon and Ruby both made it through without horrid things to slow them down on their recoveries. Way to go, Ladies!

Good morning
all. I am doing much better than yesterday. Omg yesterday I was gassy and stuff. Cause I think they blow up your belly in order to get the surgery done. I haven't heard from Ruby yet, but I'm hoping she's doing fine. I was so nauseous yesterday, like I was about to throw up. I got up and. I'm now waiting for the surgeon to give the ok for me to start on Water. I will keep ya'll updated have a blessed day all.

Congratulations and see you on the loser's bench! Get a good night sleep before surgery.

Hello everyone! It’s Ruby! I am officially well enough to get back on here. 😊 My surgery went AMAZING yesterday, but the first 9 hours after waking up from surgery were absolutely awful and painful. I was not expecting THAT much pain; and that’s coming from a girl who had her armpits removed last year. But today I am feeling better than ever! I have been drinking my liquids and walking, walking, walking! My Surgery Siblings: let me know how you all are feeling! Thank you for the endless support, everyone. You all are amazing! 😊

Sorry, i know i am late! I had my surgery on 5/6! First couple days weren’t too bad! Prepare to stay more than one night in hospital because some doctors require it if you haven’t passed gas! Thankfully mine did not! Remember to walk walk walk after surgery! The gas pain is unreal! No one could have prepared me for it! So walk it out! Once i got home it was a little harder for me. For one i am a side sleeper. I am still laying on the couch bc i cannot lay flat or on a certain side. But i hear this gets better with time and everyone is different! I still struggle with getting the right amount of Water and Protein in! At first just the sight or smell of food made me want to throw up, but not i am hungry but it is still hard to get them down because i feel so full constantly! Also, the feeling of not pooping for 6 days is completely weird lol! I had to have the doctor order me some Miralax to help my process along quicker! Prayers for yall who are having surgery this month! It’s been rough but i know will be worth it!

First of all. CONGRATS! Second. Breathe! Make sure you have comfy clothes, non slip slippers and FOLLOW DOCTORS ORDERS. also. If you ever have to cough or sneeze after surgery. Use a pillow and place it over your stomach beforehand. It will help. Also, ask them for a binder. It's like a girdle. It will become your best friend during recovery. LET US KNOW HOW YOU DO!

I'm actually sipping on my clearfast, getting ready for this. After all it wasn't that bad,not able to eat. I don't like hospital, therefore I only packed my backup charger my headset, my going home dress, my underwear, my abdomen binder... I'm ready. Good luck to all of you, we can do this [emoji119]

Finally, after 10 days of my Pre-Op liquid diet, my surgery is here! My Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery is tomorrow (5/13/19) and I can genuinely say, I haven’t been this happy and excited in a good while!
