Out and up in my hospital room. Not much pain, only when getting in and out of bed, but I know I am on pain killers, so who knows how it will be later. Port, at belly button, hurts bad when moving to get up. I'm so glad it's done and soon my daughter and husband will be at my side. Surgery was at 2pm, and I've slept quote a bit. Good. Gotta go, ice chips await!

Glad you are doing well Pura. I am so glad you didn't have to wait any longer for your surgery. I went back for prep at 6:40 this morning and then I was put under a few minutes to 8. All my incisions are on the upper part of my tummy which is nice for wearing more clothes, but no bra for a while lol.

I was able to come home after the procedure. I feel some discomfort. I fell asleep and my 40lb dog jumped on me and the pain feels almost unbearable at this time.

Went to work again today - maxi dress and overthrow this time. no more bra and pants...they hit 2 of my incisions. They really hurt about 2 hours before I got off work yesterday. Going to be smarter today. I am off Friday, so I just have to get thru today, tomorrow and Thursday. I think I can do it :)

You can do it Debbie. My incisions are on my upper stomach so no bra for me either. Just take it as easy as you can and you will make it through the rest of the week.

Just got home. My belly hurts--that's where all my incisions are. Feels like I've been stabbed, which I guess is true in a way. I have some gas pain in my shoulders, but it's not completely horrible. But yes, it does hurt.

I am supposed to sip a 2 Protein Shakes by the end of today. OMG it tastes sooooo good after all the bad stuff I had to drink at the hospital.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm gonna go lie down and watch Netflix now to recoup.

Gas x and heating pad for the gas. I also have been sipping warm broth or hot tea. The heat really helps. Glad you are home and doing well.

Hope everyone is doing well and tomorrow brings an even better day. I never had to use a heating pad but warm broth sure did help.

I'm five days out and haven't had really any pain today except for my bruising around my port. I had to go up and down several stairs and it messed with me some. I screwed up today though. Worked all day and went from 1 to 5:30 with nothing to drink or eat. Spent the day in the heat and have never had it effect me as much as it did today. Could tell my blood sugar got low and lost energy fast. Learned a valuable lesson. Definitely need to stay hydrated and nourished. Got home and got some juice and could almost feel the rejuvenation with every sip.

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
