Christmas in the hospital



Recommended Posts

I am 23 days post op and wondered if anyone else has experienced what i did over the holidays. Since comng home from surgery I haven't had any complications. I have been able to drink and eat Jello and pudding with no problems. In week 2, I did start feeling weak but for the most part I could just rest for awhile and keep on going. That ALL changed Christmas Eve day. I began throwing up continuously - to the point of dry heaves. I was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Day and just released yesterday (Tuesday). I had a scan done and the tummy looked great.

Has anyone else been this far out and experienced nausea to this degree?

I got the gastrointestianal bug the day after Christmas. YUCKS. If I had gotten it 3 weeks out I would have been in the hospital too I bet. I got very dehydrated and was kinda wondering if I could have a nurse come and hook me up to an I V. I managed to get better on my own, but, if I had not improved I would have gone in to the hospt.

I hope that is all you had. Sounds like your sleeve is fine. GREAT news. Now, back to normal recovery and great new things. Walk, Water, Protein. = fantastic results.

Lucygoose,

I'm sorry to hear you went through this. I'm glad your tummy is fine and you're on the mend.

      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! 😞
