3 days after surgery



Recommended Posts

Posted in this site as when I was reading some of the messages it scared the tripe out of me

So I am three day after surgery feeling great as long as u take all the pain relief given

Walked into theatre on the 6th had met the surgergon before hand, nurses lovely made me feel really at ease

In recovery for 2 hrs can't really remember much

Up to the ward morphine given and loads of other pain relief

Daughter arrived in 13/16 fixed the hair and facial

Consulant arrived late evening asking why I was still in gown, patient feel better he says in pj

Got into pj got coffee and yogurt up to the loo

Too excited to sleep much

Next morning coffee then porridge 30 later

Shown how to inject anti clotting drugs given loads medications for home. wounds to b left alone for ten days

And then I take off

Pass the hospital/ clinic daily when back driving and to call in if any worries

Got dress a bit make on checkout at 11:30

Good to b home

Purée loads of dinner and homemade Soups

Eating low fat yogurts and custards

Only time will tell re weightloss

But the whole experience to all you worried pre bandsters

For me it was the equivalent to key hole sterilisation

I am not saying it will b the same for everyone but that mine

So I hope that puts some of u at ease

Take care

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
