Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

I can't wait to lose my boobs! Guess that's the diff between men and women

LOL!! I hear ya!!

I know it- that's what I made the kids for dinner. I had my refried beans with cheese. is anyone experiencing "head hunger" ? I am having a hard time making meals for others- the smells!

Uhhh!! If I smelled pizza...I might spontaneously combust! Lol. No, but honestly I ate 2 bites of cottage cheese the other day too fast and it was sooo painful!! Then I threw up, well, just wretched and spit (tmi and gross, I know) about 10 times and so other people's food is not appealing to me at all since that happened! I'm terrified it will happen again! But once I get over the fear...who knows?

Also, I know someone mentioned this before but way did you guys say the pain under the left rib cage was from? I have been having it on and off since yesterday. Also, last night I had some chest pain and I'm pretty sure it was gas cause I had that full feeling, you know? Just wondering what you all found out or if any of you experienced this.

I had wondered if they work. Let me tell you though about the lift. I can't wait to have it done. I've finished having children so that is #1 or 2 on the list of needed.

On a little darker note' date=' yesterday I was referred to a GYN oncologist. Been diagnosed w complex hyperplasia atipia. So complete hysterectomy for me in a month or two. I'm 40 I would have loved a second child but it never happened for me. My daughter is a Jr in HS, so I think I need to get my precancerous organs out of me. After the hysterectomy they take cross sections of the uterus to make sure there isn't cancer in other areas of the uterus. Anyone else on here have this, or a close family member?

I had surgery on the 14th and today is 4 weeks and finally getting over my nausea! Wow who knew it would be that bad! I've lost 23 lbs and not eating much at all but find that I'm being constipated. Ugh! This has been the best day so far

Has anyone stomach been making crazy noises? Mine are loud! And sometime accompany a stomach ache... I am 5 weeks post op and wondering if and when it will stop or if anyone else has had this?

Makes gurgling noises but no aching or pains. Notice it after I drink or eat. I just slow down or stop. Think its my body telling me something...don't want to over due it but I'm also only 4 days post op

Sorry if I'm being a pest, but has anyone experienced crampy pain all over their abdomen? I have it tonight along with some gas (belching) and it's starting to worry me. Could coffee be doing it? Or tuna and lite mayo? Help!

Hey everyone! I am 11 days post-op today and it was the first day that I really started to feel like myself again Most of my pain has been gone for awhile, but I have had a couple lingering tender/sore spots that have been giving me trouble. Today I was actually able to walk around almost pain free, and even took myself on a trip to Barnes and Noble! Im so excited, I just felt I had to share with people that understood what I was going through. Hope everyone is doing well!!

I am 4 days post op....can't wait to be staple free and sore free! Lol. You are on your way to a new you
