    When were you allowed to stop using your CPAPA after surgery?

    Overnight Bag

    What is REALLY suppose to go in the overnight bag for the hospital? Any suggestions of things that you wish you did bring with you? Btw. My surgery is tomorrow 7/24/23

    Pain level was 6-10 for the three days but they were always on time with the pain meds. By the time I got home I only used Tylenol because I felt spasm and cramps. That was about it tho.

    Exercise

    So yesterday I decided to start taking walks at the park and I love it. Before I couldn’t stand it because I would be in so much pain now I can actually enjoy it. Walking around the house in door and out door errands wasn’t enough for me anymore and my MD cleared me btw. I start puréed food tomorrow and I can’t freaking wait. I’m so excited. Lol 21lbs down since 7/24/23 rny gastric bypass. Quick question* What are some things you guys did when you first started back exercising besides walking and what really worked best for you? Is it normal to get a gagging feeling when exercising to hard or too much? Almost like nausea but not actually going all the way?

    @CarmenG It makes sense. I was at the park but I had a 101oz bottle of water with me sipping while I walked. That’s why I thought it was strange. But I’m going to do extra ice and vitamin water to see if that will help tomorrow.

    @BabySpoons congrats on getting to 2 miles. I did a lil over one and saw the light once I started to gag on nothing. Lol I believe I got excited at how much I was able to achieve and not be totally exhausted. I sat down for a bit. And then decided to go slow speed up and then slow back down. It worked. But now I know better. Thanks!

    Exercise

    I definitely want to work on my arms sooner than later. They have always been so huge to me. Now I will have a bit more advantage now that I’m totally calorie restricted and exercising is not as overwhelming for me like it was before. But I will definitely take it slow and wait for restrictions to be lifted first.

    Oooo I can’t swim very well but I love to be in the water. Lol Once I’m cleared to submerge/swim I will definitely do this. I have all my bathing suits ready. 🤗

    Friends…

    I had watermelon today. I didn’t swallow it just for the juice only. But damn it felt good af to chew FOOD! I didn’t get much because my 1yr old nephew grabbed it out of my hand and walked away. Lol it was nice while it lasted. Lol
  17. MsTeeTee

    Friends…

    I’m hungry. Lol I miss chewing food. I’m only on day 8 post op. Chewing jello is not the same. It’s not like chicken. Lol Drinking my protein all day long is getting old really fast. Sigh… #justventing
  18. Is it just me or am I the only one who gets reminded daily/hourly and ever moment of the day of the things I can no longer eat. Lol Like why? I already know! Lol

    Is it just me or…

    So far only family. I currently live with my sister brother in law and her 1 and a half children. My mother is here part time for child care so it’s a full house. Plenty of space thank god. lol My sister is an FNP. And my brother in law is a DNP. My mother has medical background but not actively. I also have medical background but I’m not a nurse. I’m administrative and I’ve been in this field for over 13yrs+ I’ve only told 3 coworkers and 2 friend. I don’t expect them to do things like that tho. More encouraging than anything else. I was very careful about who I told just for these exact reasons. Sigh… I have to train people how to act around me on top of this journey? I’m tired just thinking about it. Lmfao!
  21. Does anyone have any good questions for me to ask my doctor? This is my first post op appt. An RN commented that it’s too soon but hey 🤷🏾‍♀️ it was already scheduled in order per the coordinator. Surgey date 7/24/23. Post op appointment 8/3/23. I will be 9 days post op by then. SW: 279 CW:265 Goal weight: healthy❤️
  22. I’m ready to waist train or at least wear stomach compression garments. I’m so soft all over like pudding or Winnie the Pooh. Lol My insides don’t feel like peas and carrots floating in broth anymore. Lol Any advice? I’m 7 days post op. Surgery was July 24,2023.

    Waist training anyone?

    Absolutely! Amazon has a few with good reviews. I made sure to search for surgical compression garments. They are a lil pricey but it seems worth it. Several bariatric patients told me in person that I need to wear a girdle of some sort to help with the excess skin amount and weight loss . Told me it will help out a lot for contouring without having to get a lot of surgery.
