What kind of discomfort did you have?



Recommended Posts

So, where were you sore after surgery? I have pain right in the middle über the rib age. You know, if you drew a line from one nipple to the other, my sore spot would be in the middle of that line, about 1 inch down. Is that normal? Is that my pouch?

I do have a question for anyone. I just ate a hardboiled egg and put in a bit of LF mayo to make wet and I chewed even tho I mashed it well. That was about an hour ago . How long does it take after eating something that you'll realize that the food isn't going to stay down? Immediately or sometime later?

Usually if food isn't going to stay down you know pretty soon after eating. Papaya Enzyme helps with digestion and breaking foods down. I have used it when food has upset my stomach and if something gets stuck. I also have Zofran sublingual for nausea as since surgery I have bouts of it. This is another miracle drug.

Everyday gets better the first week was rough. My pain was worse on the left upper side as this is where they used the heavy equipment for surgery. I got my stitches out 13 post op and after that I was good as gold. I am 10 weeks out eating regular food and doing awesome. So happy that I had this surgery.

:) You give me hope! I called the nurse and asked if it was normal and she said it was. Now I'm just disappointed in myself for not losing anything.

It's the air and swelling... You'll lose it pretty quick. And then some! Had my RNY march 25 and since coming home on the 27th, I've lost 11 lbs

That's normal, you have been pumped with IV fluids. It will come off in a couple days.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
