She's Baaaaaack (From Surgery--Lol)!



Recommended Posts

CJ--I just had surgery with Dr.Kelly on July 2nd, and I also vomited the entire first two days...and nights!! It was horrible!!! We must have had the same doctor...who wasn't free with pain relief!!

I am not nauseous anymore, but Each time I swallow food or liquid, I get a stomach cramp, and I can feel it going through my system and then it is done. Did you experience this? Sometimes it isn't even after food or liquid consumption. Gas??

Thanks,

Pam

No way!! Not you too??? I thought I was the only one. It's probably too late now, but like i said, things changed after I told Dr, Kelly.

To answer your question, if you had surgery July 2nd, you SHOULD NOT yet be having food!! (I hope you just mis-typed.) But I do recall that for the first 8 days after surgery, when I would swallow liquid, I could feel it go all the way down and then kind of get stuck at a certain spot. But by day 8, that feeling magically went away. So I wouldn't worry too much. :)

Thanks for sharing. I had no vomiting. That must have been awful! My worst problem was gas pain the first day. Haven't had any nausea. All in all, pretty uneventful.

You are hilarious!! Thank you For sharing your ups and downs, so that the rest of us can see what it might be like. I agree, I HATE being sick. I focus on only that as well. Like a Migraine. I'm usually pretty certain I'm going to die.

"What sorta place is this?" I LOL'd. You should write for a living! Maybe you do?

I'm glad you made it out and had a good overall experience.

Thank you soooo much for posting this. I will be sleeved in exactly two weeks and have been having some major anxiety and sleepless nights second guessing my decision. This really helped. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
