Im Finally Post Op



Recommended Posts

Im 2 days post op and feeling good. The first day was the worse with the gas pain in my left shoulder but once that went away I have been great just a lil sore. Today is my first full day home so Im really trying to make sure I get my fluids in and walk. I was nervous to take my morning meds today but they did not seem to upset the princess like the swallow study or the 2 hour ride home did yesterday. I hope that this continues no real pain, nausea, etc. I had read a lot of horror stories pre op so I was aware of the good and bad. I feel very blessed that God has brought me through to this point with little discomfort and I have faith that he will continue to help me out. How are all the other October 29th sleevers doing?

Im a little sore where they removed the stomach and Im getting about 42-48 oz of Water a day the last 2 days. I have slept in so I plan to get up at my regular time starting tomorrow so I have more time to sip. Sipping doesn't hurt but i get full and tired of sipping all day. I've been home 2 1/2 days and all i've done is sip. I have all these popsicles and Jello and all I have had since I came home is water and 1 popsicle.

I know it's hard trying to sip all day long and what's with the saliva in overdrive I can't seem to stop producing spit I'm trying not to swallow to much it makes me gag after awhile lol hopefully it will get better as the days go by

It should get better. I'm up to 50 oz of liquids today because I'm making myself. I just now tried Jello for the first time just for some variety and i do believe that this sf peach jello is the best tasting stuff on the face of the earth, lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
