Interesting tidbit: my surgeon says that diet soda IS okay, so much so that the Christmas tree in his office is decorated with tiny Diet Coke can ornaments! Hmmmm...

Someone posted about blood clots' date=' my doctor never mentioned anything . Is there something I'm missing?[/quote']

Hi I'm a nurse and anytime someone sits or lies still for a long period of time there is a risk of blood clots in the legs. When someone has surgery the risk increases. You tend to lie in bed recovering, are less active. The recommendation is to get up and walk every hour while awake.

Gals, don't get too worked up! If you don't get up to walk around often, then you run the danger of developing blood clots! As with any surgery! My rule (since I have had a few surgeries) is to get up once an hour! We will need to do this for gas anyway! I am starting to get anxious! I am on day 6 of 14 clear liquids! Doing good (haven't cheated) I have lost six pounds and the day after tomorrow is my pre-op! The 14th is around the corner!

Merry Christmas December bandsters!

You are so right! I have had numerous surgeries, but never have I heard such a fuss about blood clots until now. Ugh! I plan on getting up and walking every hour … I already warned my husband NOT to baby me … let me walk around!!! They also said that while sitting, our fee should be reclined … soooo then he can baby me!!

Oh and I told him that LOTS of foot massages would be helpful, too!!! Hahah!!!! :wub:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
