Came out of surgery around noon yesterday' date=' but I don't actually remember anything until about 4pm. Woke up sore and disoriented with a dilaudid pca pump. I've been up and walking 4 times since then and walking really does help. Most annoying thing is the mouth and throat dryness. My voice is really strained and hoarse from the intubation. Some nausea mostly after walking, but its not too bad. I even refused phenergan yesterday and opted to wait 2 hours until I could have more zofran. Phenergan just makes me feel like a zombie, I hate the stuff. Burping some, but no poots yet. Still dealing with the foley, cant wait for them to take it out in the morning.

Nursing staff here at Duke Raleigh is wonderful. Everyone has been very nice, professional and caring.[/quote']

Congratulations, sounds like you're on the right track, once they take the Foley out..instant relief.

I was supposed to be at Duke Raleigh, but my insurance insisted on my surgery being done at Durham Regional. Who was your doctor? I had Dr. Sudan.

Dr Sudan was my doctor too! Small world.

Getting all the local girls together sometime sounds like fun. I'm probably the farthest away though. I actually live almost an hour north of Raleigh.

It would have been closer for me to have the surgery in Durham Regional, but I like Duke Raleigh's facility better and insurance didn't care as long as it was a Duke facility.

So cool that we had same doctor. I like Dr. Sudan. He's quiet, but he is very good.

We should get together sometime. I live right on the line between Raleigh and Wake Forest.

My surgery was June 26th I have had some ups and downs with extra Fluid and air on my abdomen that makes me miserable however, it is getting better. My weight on surgery day was 244 lbs and today almost a week post op I'm 243 lbs. I am strictly following the diet and walking my neighborhood daily until I have the energy/strength to hit the gym for some good cardio workouts. I will be so happy to see more drops in my weight. Has anyone else had a slow start?

Age 30 5'8 HW 280, pre surgery wt 263, wt day of surgery 244, current wt 243

You're doing fine. Your body is just healing at its own pace. I started slow and then dropped 10lbs in 2 days. I also had to hide my scale! I was becoming obsessed

Im a slow loser and I weigh myself everyday, I'm not obsessed with it because I understand this weight loss procedure/process, my counselor said we should weigh ourselves everyday because down the line it will become easy to pick up weight, because you stop being concerned, you begin to think, oh it's ok, and next thing you know when you weigh yourself, you've picked up 10lbs....

I stalled for a full week during my 2nd week post op. After my third week I am down 5 pounds. It will happen. Try not to get too frustrated. (Easier said than done, I know)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
