Tuesday's Coming! Yay! :)



Recommended Posts

So, Tuesday will be two weeks post-op from my gallbladder removal! I've been unable to work out well for months because of the pain pre-op, but I aching to get back to the gym on Tuesday. :) I figure I'll start with light weights for my arms and about 15-20 minutes of cardio. I don't have my official post op until one month out, but this was approved by my doctor. I never thought I'd be SO excited to go sweat!!! :)

Thanks! I'm hoping to spend a little more time here now that things have calmed down some. I am amazed at the cessation of pain! I realize now that I've been in pain from this gallbladder for more than 20 years. I thought I had an injury from repetitive motion at the keyboard down the long muscle on the right side of my back, but even THAT pain is gone. Wow!!! :)

Nothing says happiness more than a pain free day. I am happy for you.

Wow, all I can say is that I LOVE THE GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I spent about an hour there last night. I moved very slowly through very low weights and low reps for my arms and legs, then spent a blissful 11 minutes on the recumbent bike, just enjoying the sweat. I cannot believe how great I feel now that I've actually put my body through it's paces, although very slowly. I'd have gone longer on the bike, but my incisions started bothering me, so I stopped to try again another day. My follow up with the doctor is today for my GB and I'm hoping he will clear me to move forward with some aqua aerobics and maybe a little hot tub time. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
