Soon you will be loosing pounds and giving out advice.

The best advice that I received at your stage were 3 things.

1. Take the anti nauseau meds before you leave the hospital even if you dont feel nauseau. (I did not do that and got REALLY sick) Zofran works well.

2. As soon as you wake up walk, and walk every hour, It helps keep the painfull gas away and lessens the chance for blood clots.

3. Sip, Sip,Sip, the best way to keep you from feeling sick is to stay hydrated. Even when you dont want too, even if you think you cant, sip Water.< /p>

Your going to be so happy in a couple months, this will be a distant memory.

Best Wishes!

I'm a week out today, and felt the same as you, I was pretty sure my heart was going to stop before I got to the hospital. You are going to do great! The first few days a rough, but I didn't think any worse than having the lapband, the worst part for me was the nausea and wanting to down a bottle of Water and only being able to sip, so that's what you do, just keep sipping and every day you'll get better! Good luck!!!

I had a re ision with 2 hernia repairs the incisions are sore but the one by my my ribs between my boobs at the bottom is the worst.please remember tp take the pain medication. It helps tremendously. And dont take phemergun for nausea yhe zpfrin is much better, I think the demerol was the worst so they put me on dilated... best to luck for e everyone. .

      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! 😞
