Feeling Good Again



Recommended Posts

Ok- so I am 10 days post op and I finally got my color back and feel better. I was really worried because I usually bounce right back from things, but not this surgery. I am feeling hopeful now and my energy has returned. Still on liquid diet and doing great! I kind of like this muscle milk. Ha ha! Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support!

Thanks Goodness, I'm Day 5 post-op and I think I was hit by a truck! LOL Not really getting better by the day biggest complaint is the sore abdomen and it's not too sore today. I'm a bit more hungry but the liquid shakes seem to knock the hunger out. Thursday I can add the mushies! I can't wait!

It took me at least 7 days post-op to begin to feel somewhat normal. For me, it was the medications, anesthesia, anti-biotics they poured into my body. I know I was in shock for a week. Maybe it's necessary but I really never want to go back there again.

I had my gb out on 6/29 and breezed through. I found this much harder. I'm 17 days PO now and feel 100% better. Hang in there.

Pennie 8/10.

I was unprepared for the post-op experience and feared I had made a big mistake. I hugged a heating pad for a week after the surgery, and cursed everyone who told me it would be a breeze. Thankfully it passed soon enough. And seeing the weight come off makes it SO worth it!

I so feel you, days 1-3 I was like OMG you actually did this to yourself! I'm now day 5 post op and it's getting better. I have a lot of gas in my back. I took a 15 minute walk and although I didn't pass the gas at least I got it to move out of my back! I'll walk again when I get home I can't help it I have been checking the scale and I'm down 6 lbs since last week! I know it's only liquid diet/post surgery but it does help get me through the day!!

      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! 😞
