Made It Through Surgery Today.



Recommended Posts

I made it through surgery today! Keeping up w pain w pain pump meds through iv. Took first walk at 5:30 tonight wasn't bad. Will be walking every 4 hours, they will wake me up in middle of night to walk. Ice chips one medicine cup every hour. Tomorrow will do 4 an hour of medicine cups of Clear Liquids.

They found 2 hernias fixed the hital hernia but left other one. Fixing the hital hernia might make it hard to get liquids down tomorrow the Dr said. Other hernia will be fixed later down the road dr said.

Keep up doing such a great job! Ice chips were my friend and the only thing I really wanted - the hospital kept bringing Jello and broth. If you get a chance, ask for an ice back to lay on your stomach. It really helped me and I think it helped to keep the swelling down.

Congratulations! I hope you start to feel better real soon. I have to have a hiatal hernia repair also, so I have some questions for you when you start to feel better.

Welcome to the loser's bench!!!!!! I also had a hiatal hernia repaired... but I didn't know about it until my follow-up a week later. I have no idea whether it impacted my pain levels or my progression with liquids. Good luck and I'm happy to hear that you are doing well!

      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! 😞
