Recommended Posts

Everything happend so fast. Registered at 515. Went to pre op at 540. Went to X-ray at 615. Last step pre op surgical anesthesia at 6:30. Knocked out at 715 woke up around 10 or 11... When I woke up from recovery every one is trying to help and I just wanted them to leave me alone.. My back was hurting me so bad... I didn't know what happend.. I was told I had trapped air in my back.. Then I was like a zombie my mouth was wide open I couldn't talk for like 6 hours.. They pump air into your stomach so they can see what their doing...my anesthesia team was perfect!!! My doctor was great!!! I walked every hour.. For like 4 hours...waiting to be released in the next hour..

CONGRATS! You did great. I remember when I was in the hospital I slept at an incline and that helped me not have as much air trapped. I had no problems with pain except for the incision site. Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S BENCH! :P

Congrats! I also wanted everyone to just leave me alone when I came out of the anesthesia - too many people trying to get me to talk and all I wanted to do was concentrate on how much my incision sites hurt. I kept telling them "Sssshhhh!" :) Embarrassing now, but it was how I felt at the time. I needed quiet to focus. ha ha

I hope the next few days fly by for you, since they can be the worst. Keep us updated!

Congrats. I remember all too well. I wanted to scream from the pain. It gets better and better. Whether you end up being a slow, medium, or fast weight loser, know that you will lose. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself and embrace the changes. Including listening to your body and what t can and cannot handle.

Be encouraged

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
