Hi,

Patti, really thinking of you on your surgery day. Looking forward to hearing from afterwards.

So glad everything is ok with you zoe and ncbabygurl I know what you mean about Soups and liquids. I am fine with that at the moment, possibly because I know that I can have more but my body won't cope with it yet. Expanding my range of soups and trying to reassure myself that I don't have a problem with seafood and other things (at the moment anyway) is great!

Take care

Claire

hi everyone, well I got home about 10pm last night, and I'm up and moving about a bit. My op was at 1pm, and I was very surprised that when my surgeon said I would be tilted upright and he'd be operating face to face! Came around feeling ok, just really really tired and spent most of the afternoon asleep.

How do I feel? I'm uncomfortable, but not in much pain, the gas pain being the worst. I've just had a Breakfast of miso Soup. They did offer me soup twice at the hospital but it contained milk which I'm allergic to. I was offered jelly but it never materialised.

Hi Zoe,

So you came home the same day! I have heard that gas pain can be really painful, i was lucky I didn't have any. You wil be shattered I am sure but it sounds as if you are tolerating the soup you had for breakfast.You sound like you are doing really well.

Take care

yes, home the same day. If you are considered local (we live an hour away) and you are out of theatre by 3pm and pass the criteria (no pain, had a wee, drunk several glasses of iiquid) then you can go home. I was pleased, it was better to be at home, although I was pacing the kitchen at 2am with a hot wheat bag on my left shoulder and reading my favourite poetry out loud to distract myself!

I did not have any gas pain either. I had some last night tho. 15 days out. Go figure. I feel for anyone suffering with gas pain. I hope it goes away real soon.

Well I finally start my 5 day liquid diet today. I'm more nervous about this diet than I am the actual procedure, please pray that I get through this. I'm going to try my best to keep my eyes on the prize though, I'm so excited to start my new life!

Hi,

I am just over 2 weeks ahead of you. I did a 3 week pre op but not liquid diet. There are pros and cons i think, I wasn't hungry on mine but it did go on forever! I honestly didn't find the surgery recovery bad at all and it was only last Tues and I am fine, just a bit tired and lightheaded. The pain was fine after the first couple of hours. Everyone is different and so are their surgeons but I had no catheter or drains and I think that helped. Now trying to build up my fluids and can only really cope with Soups and drinks, but more of a choice every day.

Just keep going and your surgery date will soon be here. Everyone feels anxious as well as excited. Carry on posting on here and on the Feb post op thread and you will get a lot of support, I know I have.

Take care

Claire

You all will do great and be on that losing bench soon. Remember to walk walk walk. I really think that the more I walked the more the pain eased up.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
