Surgery in the morning of the 31st, anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I need to arrive at the hospital at 8 am and I'm feeling a little queasy from nerves. Here's to hoping I am not in the unlucky 1% that have serious issues. Good luck to any other folks getting their surgery today as well!

I arrive at the hospital at 830! I am also queasy, but I think it is from starvation lol.

My pre op diet was a little more lenient as far as eating goes than most of them I think, I could eat one lean and green meal a day and a couple of shakes. But I stopped eating on Monday just to be extra careful. So maybe it is hunger:P

Did it. I was so nervous but it all went by in a blink of an eye. I am having very little pain, what amounts to a dull ache around the incision sites. I Walked from one side of the hospital to the other a couple of times upon waking up and was sent on my way home after a few hour nap. So far so good!

Just woke up, I could sleep on my side my back or however I wanted. Still feel a little sore but a little less than yesterday. I hope this trend continues!

Thanks, I hope yours does too! I just started to try eating some sugar free Jello, stomach is a little less happy about it than the chicken broth and unflavored Protein Powder, but it isn't too bad. Little bit of gurgling and burping and slight stomach pain. I did take two percocets first though:P I drank 16oz of Water no problem before I started eating the jello.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
