Just Got Surgery Date Of July 25Th!



Recommended Posts

My surgery was yesterday. I'm back home and doing well. Taking it slow on the liquids until my stomach can adjust. I was only able to have ice chips yesterday and started back with Clear Liquids today/60cc per hour. I should be able to go back to full liquids tomorrow and continue for two more weeks. The surgery wasn't bad at all. I had a brief bout of nausea yesterday but it was short lived after I was given Zophran. Don't plan on resting after your surgery. Between the vital signs, respiratory therapy treatments, nurse visits (i.e. check on IV, dressings, etc.) and lets don't forget the lab...it seemed like someone was in my room constantly. But the care I received was AWESOME! Good luck to each of you. I hope your experience is as good as mine was.

I'm grateful to have some pre-op stuff to do next week (labs and a PA-C meeting). This sitting in neutral for two weeks might give me enough time to get nervous. Thankfully I've got a busy life with work and kids and summer fun!

That seems very familiar. I'm a wee bit impatient, too.

      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! 😞
