Who is scheduled for Jan 8th? I'm getting nervous



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve yesterday and after my blood pressure dropped too low last night, they took away my iV pain med.....????

After trying some liquid, I have thrown up "really foam and a drop of blood that they said was left over from intubation. They have now given me Tylenol pills. I kept them down.....and am feeling better! I may get to go home tonight, but would prefer to go home tomorrow....what ever will be will be. Oh....they gave me crystal lite, but too sweet. I scored some propel packets from a gastric bypass patient I met in the hall who was going home. Really nice lady!

Finally home after getting sleeved yesterday at 530m. Sore but just walking and sipping. Hope I sleep good tonight in my own bed. Hope everyone is doing good!

My surgery went well, no complications. Thankfully. Lots of pain the first day but now that Im home it seems to be getting better. Im not hungry at all, but have been dreaming of diet coke. LOL

Just for fun I stepped on my scale today and guess what? I gained 2 lbs. :) Im sure its from the IV fluids, my hands are swollen too. I think I'll wait a few more days before I weigh my self again.

I hope you all are doing well.

My surgery went fine on the 8th. Yesterday was rough. Very sore and tired. Overdid it on the Water once or twice and paid for it.

Had a phenomenal night last night, though, and got good sleep. Today was 100 percent better. Went to stage 2 at Breakfast and stage 3 for lunch. Got discharged around 4.

It felt SO good to get home and shower!!!! Resting comfortably now, just sipping and walking.

Go back on Monday for my followup appointment.

I was sleeved on the 8th... came home on the 10th... today is my first day of full liquids and I am finding myself "full" - so it is taking me like an hour and a half to finish one cup. I have been very lucky - no pain really - just nausea, but I haven't thrown up at all. I am doing my walking and have had no gas pain. I went home with my OnQ... will take that out tonight or tomorrow - not looking forward to doing that by myself - that is probably when I throw up... just seeing that - gross! I am just pleased at how I feel - much much better than I thought it would be!!

Was sleeved on the 8th just showered today (shower is upstairs so I had to wait). Feel more human now. Had bad nausea in recovery but have been doing ok since--haven't needed my nausea drugs. Have some gurgle/gas pains and soreness overall but able to manage. My only issue is well...still haven't gone number 2 (sorry for the tmi). Going to take something to move things along tomorrow also hoping to get off the pain meds altogether that should help.

Great, Woobs! Right back at you with the tmi. Same here on #2. It's been three days. Not worried yet and don't feel like I need to go. But it sure is weird.

Have not used my nausea or my painkiller since coming home. I think I'm going to stockpile the painkiller for the first time my back gives out, as I can't use my miracle drug of 800mg Advil anymore for that. :)

I'm on a nasty-assed prescription of Protonix, which my doc says is given to everyone for reflux and stomach soothing. Tastes like crap.

Ahhhhhh shower!!! I feel sooooo much better now. I had to wait to take my last tubes out - which I did at midnight because they were leaking so bad! I feel great today - day 4 post-op! I am a little sore and wasn't able to get all my Protein in yesterday... but making a huge effort to get it all in today!

My kidneys are sore - anyone else experiencing that? I don't know if it's because of lying on my back so much or because I haven't gone number 2 yet (I'm not constipated that I know of)....I will walk even more today to see if I can get the kinks out - and I walked alot yesterday!!!

Glad to hear the 8th sleevers are doing so well!!! Let's get this done!! :-)!!!!

The pre surgery diet liquids? I was lucky and didn't have to do strictly liquids, but mine sucked too.

No advice other than get your chin up, put your head down and get to work, and remember that all things worth anything come with sacrifice. You got this!

      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!!

      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! 😞
