Post op, day 1!



Recommended Posts

Surgery was done yesterday at 10:30. I'm glad it's over with my I'm still in quite a bit of pain. I feel very weak and shaky. I have a morphine PCA pump but when I start moving, i'm hurting pretty bad. I haven't had any gas pains at all though. Just sharp pain but even that is going away slowly. I'm so glad I did this. This is the beginning of my new life!

Glad you can through it. Yeah the first few days are tough. I had mine on the 19th and was discharged on the 21st. I liked the liquid Loratab better than the Morphine. I had to wait 10 minutes to press again. You will be probably going to the bathroom alot and it's gonna get tiresome having to call them to unhook you and help you up. Drink Water when you can. Sip, sip, sip!!!

      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! 😞
