How much has everyone lost so far?? I feel like I am on the low end and maybe not doing something right! I started pre op diet on 8/31 and sleeved on 9/12 and total loss is 26lbs… should it be more???

Well I am almost 2 weeks post op and full for me is a pain that starts after I take a bite. Not like a searing just like a cramp that moves across my stomach. Or a hiccup!

First day back at work. So far not terrible!

I have to carry an extra change of clothes like a toddler and just hope if anything happens someone will be near enough to retrieve them!

Ok sleeved 9/12 and dying to know if I am the only one that hasn’t been able to trust passing gas since the pre op diet??? I will be so happy when I am on normal food again!!??

Definitely hard to tell between hunger and gas! I don’t feel like I have been hungry. It feels different all the way around. I have been trying to make myself eat on a schedule so that hopefully I can tell what feeling is what! And as always I am still pushing my limits and plan on going back to work Monday!

How are you doing with yours? I am a single mom and have tended to push the limits in what I should and shouldn’t do during recovery…

I don’t know what I was thinking… well maybe I do. It needed to be done and it is just a riding mower… how bad could it be??? Yep don’t do it it’s a trap!!!

So I finally made it through the night with no pain meds. I have got to stop over doing it during the day though! It’s just so hard not to carry on my normal cleaning routine. I hate having a dirty home!!

Girl last night I was having to rehang a door my baby child pulled down with her gigantic self! She is 5”11 and have ripped it down moving something out and couldn’t get it back up. That resulted in a two hour whole turtle escapade this morning cause I couldn’t get myself off my back?

Well y’all I have been down two whole days my house is a wreck and it has to be cleaned! Wish me luck! Momma gotta do what momma gotta do!

Hopefully you will be pain free for the most part. I find myself taking the pain meds at night and if I have to be in a car long periods of time. Post op day 1.
-
September surgery buddies!!
Good luck and take the pain meds at least at night so you can sleep!!!

The gas pain was not that bad just make sure you walk! They put a local around the incision sites and that is what wore off in the middle of the night. But it is really one incision more than the rest. I fully believe that is the one they pulled every thing out of because it is the only one that is bruised! Having a little better today maybe. I have over done it a little already. I got up and showered, fixed my hair and made my bed. So I am still sore from the up and down but all in all I am ok!

Ok guys I tried to be a bad ass and not take the pain meds… wrong answer! You can make it through the day without them but if you want rest take them at night! Surgery yesterday morning 9/12. And as he said the numbing agent wore off In the middle of the night and y’all that ain’t no joke! So here I sit in pain waiting on that to kick in. I am not normally and wimp I have a very high pain tolerance. But woo-wee that stings a little!
