Had My Gastric Bypass Surgery 48 Hrs Ago

Hi Everyone

I had my gastric bypass surgery 48 hours ago & I'm hoping to be let home this afternoon. Still quite sore but first 29 hours after surgery was F**** Agony although its eases a hell of a lot now, just hurts swallowing tablets & liquids still trying to get used to doing that.

It's completely eye opening & life changing as your teaching yourself how to eat again & what not to eat as well. Your also learning how to listen to yourself & learn your boundaries too.

I'll keep you posted with my progress when I can. Off to have a snooze now as still feeling very tired.

God bless Xx

Hang in there! The beginning was rough for me too, there is light at the end of this tunnel ;)

Each day gets better and better, continue to take pain meds, rest and walk, walk, walk to eliminate the gas :)

it took until today (had surgery on the 16th) to finally get rid of the back pain caused by gas.

Thanks everyone for the advice particularly about the gas & the walking. So far don't appear to be getting much gas but my foods are mainly consisting of Soup & milk shake.

Broken sleep seems to be an issue still although I've always suffered with broken sleep. But I am feeling tired in waves & bouts but I think I need to push myself a lil more to stay out of bed & keep mobile.

Hope your all doing well following your surgery's & any advice or opinions are more than welcome.

Kindest Regards Lucii
