Oh, that stuff was awful! They were giving that to me after they took the morphine pump away. What are they telling you when you tell them you are hurting? They started giving me Toradol with my pain meds because my back hurt so bad after surgery.

They just tell me to wait 4 hours. It's making it nearly impossible to get up and move around. Im just not being demanding enough

Ask for Toradol if you still have your IV. You have the right to be comfortable and not in pain!

Hey everyone. Surgery went well I was in a room by 11:30 this morning. Up walking by 3 however that made me sick so they just let me walk again at 10. In the morning they will do the swallow test. Then I can finally sip Water or eat ice chips

Glad to hear your surgery went successful! My surgery is Monday and I will also have to do a swallow test before I can have something to drink. I hope everything goes well in the morning.

Thanks. They said the test should be at 730. Can't wait I'm ready for some Water

Lots of nausea yesterday. Every time I walked the halls, dry heaving would follow. Ugh!! But change a girl's meds and today is a new day filled with new possibilities! I'm doing much better. Now time for sip, walk, sip & walk! Got to try to get liquids down today - yesterday I was dehydrated. Let's do this!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
