Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

4 days postop and I went poo! I tried to do all day with no pain meds. Took them at 5 am and then just now at 6 took some. I feel so sore, tired, and run down. I wish I could take a hot bath. Otherwise I'm doing really well.

The gas in my tummy that's rolling around reminds me of being pregnant and the baby's arm or leg moving across my belly. Very strange feeling!

Looking forward to Wednesday and going to stage 2 liquid foods just for a change. I have ZERO appetite and only drink the broth, diluted juice, and Jello because I'm suppose to. I like not being hungry and even smelling the wonderful cooking my husband has been doing for everyone else doesn't bother me.

I'm so jealous. I want to poo! I feel really heavy and bloated because I haven't gone. Taking Colace twice daily per surgeons instructions. Going to go on a walk in the a.m. Hopefully that will help. If not, going to place a call to the dr. To see what he recommends because I don't want to just keep waiting.

Are you having bowel movement at all? I've been getting that if I need to have a BM. Calling in to be sure is wise...

Yes, having plenty of gas and actually getting all of my fluids in as well. I had lots of bowel issues up until young adult hood about 10 years ago so I think I am a bit overly sensitive. Going to try going on a longer but slower walk tomorrow and see if that can work some things free. :) I just really don't want to strain anything...lol

Yay. Finally passed gas! Thought I was dreaming. I get to go home today :) I am drinking massive amounts of Fluid with no pain. Still having stomach spasms; doctor says this should go away soon. Today I go to full liquids, which makes me very afraid! Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

I'll be 50 in November so there are a few of his hitting the 1/2 century mark...50 is the new 30!!!

I know, right? Even with my natural gray showing, people still tell me I look like I'm a young 40! Wait till I'm back to my fighting weight and I'm a hottie-tot! LOL!

Cecilia rock on I wanted to be done with my weight loss journey at 50.

Now maybe 52/53 I hope!

Let's Celebrate together! Do you have anything special planned? I didn't intend to have a "coming out" event, so to speak, but a girlfriend just invited me to go on a cruise in January!

4 days postop ...

Looking forward to Wednesday and going to stage 2 liquid foods just for a change.

Every new stage seems so exciting... until you've been doing it for a week, LOL! Just kidding. As we speak, I'm trying to eat half an egg, scrambled. You have no idea how awful it feels. It's like I'm eating little rocks or something judging by the way my tummy feels. Who knew I could get full on a fork-full of eggs! :blink:

I don't blame you I've learned to totally relax when its time as I don't want to strain either. My biggest issue is severe muscle pain from muscle healing I haven't found any pain worse than this. Almost woke Mt hubby last night to take me to ER

You are going to have a blast I've been on three so far. I'm having trouble thinking about any special plans I don't do pain well when its past my tolerance unlike most on the blog about three ox us are suffering with intense abdominal muscle / nerve healing pain its the worst...I'm trying to be positive but difficult.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
