Had My Gastric Bypass Surgery 48 Hrs Ago



Recommended Posts

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

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

      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! 😞
