Lesson Learned The Last 2 Nights..



Recommended Posts

Well last nights lesson was, don't take liquid Codine and lay down right away, cuz within 10 mins it was back up and out....

Lesson tonight is, don't take 5 pills within an hour of each other because those too will come back up and out...

This has been the first time throwing up, surgery was 16 days ago...

I think I'm just getting too cocky and need to remember to take it slow......

Thats all :)

You still need to sip your tylenol with cod. Take it slowly and you will be fine. We all learn our lessons the hard way. ;)

OMG I must have drawn the short stick with the pain, it was bad in the hospital they tried 3 different things and nothing worked... They sent me home with Tylenol Codine which honestly was a joke, its only in the last 2 days that I have felt human and can get out of bed without dreading it...It was only the right side that hurt and it wasnt tthe cuts it has been a deep muscle pain..... But the last 2 days I have been pushing through and getting some walk time in and that has helped...

Don't be scared, I only cried once due to pain but it was more frustration than anything....

Don't worry about the heartburn and stuff they send you home with everything,, I actually had awful heartburn for years and I haven't taken a pill since surgery so I hope I'm over that crap but who knows when I start to actually eat...

I know everyone is so different, 2 people at work were back to work in under 2 weeks... I asked my doc and he said 3-4 I have a pretty good short term plan so sign me up for 4, I'm actually kinda glad I did that as I'm finally starting to feel good and want some me time to get used to everything....

Today I learned another lesson don't chew or swallow gum, I had a total brain fart and chewed some gum and down it went.. Had to call my doc she said within the hour u will know if it's stick luckily I feel fine and everything is going down...

This is all learning time trial and error... You will be fine!! If I can do it anyone can

Thanks Sleeve!!! Now that i'm through the worst my outlook is much better :)

Ilyssa- I think people kinda figured out what i was doing at work and most of them know by now because of my postings on Facebook, i think they all know that i had struggled with PCOS and fertility issues so i don't think anyone is holding what i did against me...And if they judge me who cares, i'll look better than all of them soon :)

My last supper lasted a week, i think that week i went out for Pasta, had pizza, McD's..My final friday was Tacos due to Cinco De mayo later for dinner it was all bar food, chicken wings, rib tips, brushetta 2 orders, fries and a veggie platter oh and 4 vodka cranberries..Me and the girls polished that off like nothing, it was like it was their last meal also....My friends are thinking this will also help them because when the come over in the future when i can actually eat they will get normal size portions and healthy stuff from scratch and not a box :)

Day 1-4 sucks but after that on liquid you just don't care..

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
