Fabulous February!

I know that c-section pain. I had two-one emergency. One day really soon you will wake up and zip- pain is gone. Meditating and relaxing helped me.

Thanks Sassy I had just bought mediation DVD and some books, I'm relaxing too.. I just feel like an invalid, and want to cry when I stand up I have to hold my fat roll up against my stomach so I can walk !

Btb yes they cut a muscle and some nerves and then stitch it back together' date=' muscle or nerve causes unbearable pain because of the pulling and healing. Friends that have had cesearn sections have told me the same.....OUCH no pain meds work![/quote']

I must have had some strong meds for my last emergency csection and other complicated ab surgeries

I haven't seen my surgeon in like two months funny how its different in many places. I have been talking to his secretary for anythong that ove needed so far but had my pre-op appointment on Friday, everything seemed to go well as I was cleared for surgery. I am super excited and super nervous, just have this wave of emotions going through me right now. I have to be on Clear liquids Monday , don't know what time my surgery is but hopefully its early, I will be waiting for the call Monday afternoon that will let me know. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything goes well.

Wow u don't know? Mine is at 730am and I have to be there at 530.... Have to get kids ready for inlaws and mom is staying at nearby hotel.... I had to know every detail... Type A personality.... And in this uncertainty I felt needed to control at least the little I could... :-) I am hopeful and prayerful it will all go well. I need to be able to work and get back to working out and being active with my little boys and younger hubby ( ;-) )

My surgeons Physicians assistant, his nutritionist and his personal assistant call me once a week each to check on me, calm fears with facts, adjust diet as needed and encouragement.... All women... Love it!

I am chuckling! My dear daughter who is working on her masters thesis came home and made me a surgery play list for my iPhone with relaxing/meditative/positive songs. Got up this morning and started it. First song: Andy Grammer's Keep Your Head Up! "Gotta keep your head up.......you'll turn out fine!"

My theme song!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
