Good to hear you made it through to the other side. I am having some incision site pain too. My doc only keeps us overnight. Having the hospital bed to help me up and down was nice. Getting rid of that 18 gage IV was nice too. I was trying to tough it out without pain meds last night but what that got me was stuck in bed... I had to have my son come pull me out. LOL Oh well I guess I will have to give in and take them for the next day or so. I have found that crushing the pills and mixing them with Jello helps get them down.

Hmmn don't think I had a drain. I do have a lot of pain from the left incision site.. The one where they remove your stomach. We made it through together. Now I can't wait for the weight loss to start... that will be exciting but OHH HOW I HATE KETOSIS. My body just doesn't want to do it. It is a major wrench to shift into it and a major wrench when it shifts out. Let me know how you are progressing

I too am having a tiny bit of greek yogurt with some sugar-free carmel topping in it. I am feeling some better but still some incision site pain. My husband is terrified of me getting addicted to pain killers. I have never been addicted to any type of drug in my life but with every surgery we go through this struggle of when will be my last pain pill. He has let me know that he thinks I should not take them tomorrow. I usually just ignore him and stop the pain pills when I no longer need them.

I got discharged today and had to head straight to the opthomologists office.... I have an erosion of my cornea.... Probably from a poorly healed old injury but worsened by dry eye during surgery.... It has been more painful than the surgery itself. I am burping a lot and still have diarrhea.... Wish that would end, but otherwise doing pretty well. I definitely appreciated the extra day of iv fluids.

Tomorrow will be over before you know it and you'll be fine. My prayers are with you and your family. Put your trust and faith in the Lord and He will see you through.

I'm a nurse and have worked in surgery and recovery. The doctors are professionals and very good at what they do. Your body will slowly make it back to normal, expect

to be very tired, some pain, and a little fuzzy. The fuzzy in the head feeling will pass in about three to four hours. When you doze off several times and then finally wake up.

Once you are in your room and awake they will want you to sit on the side of the bed and then walk a little. If you are in pain, tell your nurse. They should be able to help you

stay comfortable. Then we rely on the experts on this web site. They have lived it and know what it's like. I appreciate all those who tell us about your experiences.

Let us know how you did when you can.

      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!!
