Post-surgery belly pic -viewer discretion advised. :)



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 4. This is what my belly currently looks like. The two circular bruises at the bottom are the heparin shot sites. I am much less sore today! I'm clearly healing on the inside. It looks worse than it is, I think.

You poor dear...but I didn't have gauze, my doctor used some sort of glue to close mine.

It's OK. I have such a profound sense of peace now. I don't care about being thin, but it's like my body just released the need to crave, at least for a moment. I know I made the right choice for me. Next to that, bruises and soreness are nothing.

Yes 5...ughh..my hospital takes a lot of precaution. .which is good cayse they have never had a death or infection..n I also had 4 bags of potassium. .cause I was a lil low before surgery n low potassium can be a cause of a irregular heart beat which can cause a heart attack after surgery..

      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! 😞
