Just home after surgery



Recommended Posts

Boy do I hurt!

Thanks Penni for making my pictures smaller.

Doc said he had an easy time of doing the surgery. He could have fooled me! I stayed over night because my potasium level was low. This can only get better. Please Please Please!

I'm 5 days out and today is my best day yet. My abdomen is still really sore but otherwise things are getting better.

Good luck to you!

Yeah for Sandy....I'm jealous...still waiting on my surgery date!! Don't worry the pain should go away in a couple of days, if it's anything like the other surgeries I've had for other stuff the Gas sucks the worst and when that's gone it's such a relief that the rest doesn't even bother you!!

Congratulations on getting your band! As everyone has said, it really does get better! The gas was the worst for me, too, but it got much better after about the 4th or 5th day. Just hang in there~

Congrats on the surgery.

Things will get a little easier each day. I was already sleeping on my tummy 3 weeks post-op. It's amazing how fast your body heals.

Welcome to the losing side!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
