Wow My Surgery Is Finally Here!



Recommended Posts

Hey All!

Thanks for the support, prayers and well-wishes! I did have to stay in the hospital an additional day due to my inability to keep anything down. I was in a serious state of nausea which depressed the heck out of me. I had other blessings however, like no pain, (until I vomitted), barum swallow test came out excellent, no leaks; and minimum gas pains. If it hadnt been for the nausea and incisions, I would have sworn I did not have surgery! LOL I am glad to be at my parents recouperating and relazing. I am trying to get Jello down, liquids but that part is difficult...but I stay on it. I took a brief walk out today with my sister. In am feeling alot better and on a full road to recovery. Thank you all again and luv, LOVE! GOD BLESS!!

I'm still sipping on crystal light and broth but these gas pains are so uncomfortable. I'm taking pain pills every which helps a lot until the pill wears off. I don't feel nausea unless I smell food or see food...is that normal? My mom made porkchops today for my sis and kids and the smell of it made me so sick to my stomach. I can't wait til the pain is gone for good. I hate feeling uncomfortable! Good luck everyone:-)

Hey Girl! I was told that is normal (nausea when smelling food), seriously, I barely watched TV in the hospital because of all those food commercials. I couldnt take it. I have not had any nausea since I've been home from the hospital last week. The cocktails and the patch behind the ear really did help! I have been eating fine!! I hope you are over that hump at this point!

I start my Protein Shakes 10 days before surgery,,

I really think that's a good time because 14 days was too long for me, however, I did the best I could most of that post opt diet period. You can do it. First two, three days were rough for me but after that, the hunger and cravings diminished. Having the surgery to look forward to and post success and the results of losing weight before the surgery will both charge you! :)

      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! 😞
