March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering on average how long it has taken everyone to have their first bowel movement after surgery?

I had my first bm day after surg...it was pretty watery but it counts!

Well it is just a UTI from the catheter. Antibiotics and something to help the pain and I am good to go. Lol easier said then done right at the moment.

Sooo .... I've poop'd 3lbs of junk and its still coming. I'm so surprised that the magnesium citrate doesn't have my tummy cramping and my Ass raw. I still haven't packed my bags and my surgery is in 10 hours.

My honey wants to get grown and sexy with me and bump and grind for the last time for a week or two but I'm absolutely afraid that I'll give him a gift that keeps on giving.... The runs!!!

Packing for my surgery right now.. just drunk my magnesium citrate. It didn't taste too bad until the last gulp and I almost vomited it all back up. Whew!

The Dr's office just called and changed my surgery from noon to 6am so now I'm trying to rethink my game plan but at least I don't have to go all day hungry.

Other then this.. just waiting for the "shits" to come on. My stomach has already started bubbling. LOL

Best of luck! :)

Cranialmalady thx for the encouragement. The diarrhea continues. I'm getting in enough Fluid but still working on Protein. The constant up & down to the toilet is exhausting & I'm not sleeping great. But I was able to walk around my parking lot today' date=' & even put my own socks on! I'm happy for all those doing so well. It gives me hope that I can get better.[/quote']

Bless your heart Gibby, I am in the same boat with pain etc. feeling better everyday but would love to be where most of the others are with the same surgery date. Very happy or those who are able to walk and eat last normally. Hang in there and I am always here for a good old fashion vent session!

Ok good...my incisions look really good and healthy. I've been kinda coating the area since surgery with neosporin to stop itching and to hopefully help with scarring. I figured the glue was going to come off eventually but I wasn't sure how I'm suppose to deal with it...it's my belly button incision and the one to the left of that. Both look good' date=' but I don't want to "encourage" the glue to come off...where can I get steri strips?[/quote']

I was going to ask if it was ok to use Neosporin...did your doc say it was ok?

My doctor put me on zofran' date=' use as needed. You just stick it under you tongue and it dissolves. Call your surgeons office tomorrow, see if they can call it into your pharmacy, it works really well. Good for us post opers![/quote']

My doctor have me a patch that goes behind your ear for nausea. Check on that...it's one less pill you have to take!

Back to the hospital I go. The urinary pain and the darkness has the surgeon worried. He wants the urine tested.

Pixie dust to Janel! How long to first BM? I'd laugh but it hurts. RNY 3/11 and I've had no BM' date=' just completely liquid explosive diarrhea, 5-10 times a day. I feel like the bottle of liquid colace my doctor sent me home with is mocking me![/quote']

Yeah it was pretty bad! Lol

      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.

      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! 😞
