I'm losing it!    19

I'm losing it!
Posted

Hello all. I am 4 days Post op from RYGB. I am doing what I consider GREAT! I gained 14 pounds from surgery, all those gasses (laproscopic) and Water (tons of IV bags of fluid) really add up. Little by little I can tell that is exiting my body, then I should begin to lose the actual "weight". I am only sore in the abdomen area. I have had NO PAIN at at all. Just tenderness, soreness and when I first wake in the morning, I'd say my belly area is stiff. I did get a bit plugged up feeling yesterday and took some MOM (Milk of Magnesia sp?) and that worked like a charm. Everyone should keep that product on hand...just incase. I am doing my 2 oz of bariatric approved Protein shake every hour and hydrating with zero caloried Water and flavored drinkings in between. It's really hard to consume so much "food" (fluid) when you are NOT a bit hungry. I have had NO belly hunger and NO head hunger. It's been six days since I have "eaten" real food. I was thinking I'd be starving and dying for food and the hand to mouth function....I am not! So far, so good. Really looking forward to getting some of these extra surgery pounds offs, so the real LOSING can begin!!! Happy Saturday to all.

Greenize is right. It will get better. It's hard too see the future when you're in pain. But it will get better. Make sure you do what your medical staff say. And take advantage of those pain meds.

Hello all! I had my surgery on friday the 20th and was discharged earlier today. I started having gas yesterday, tolerated all my ounces well today, and even had a bowel movement today at home. Is my body moving too fast? I was told these things would happen later on in a couple weeks.

Hello. I had my surgery Tuesday... I am 5 days post op. I too have tolerated all Fluid intake. I had lots of has leave my body while in the Hospital and am still getting rid of it. I had a BM while at the hospital too, the morning of discharge. I have had three more since I came home on a Thursday. I believe our bodies are working great! So much better to be functioning, rather than all plugged up and miserable. Rest, take your Vitamins and supplements taking your Protein and hydrate hydrate hydrate!

Jackie I am also having that feeling and especially since I have pushing myself to get Chrisas finished! I am getting all of my fluids but I am hoping it is not from dehydration! So drink drink drink! Maybe my body needs more than 32 oz. I don't know! For this very reason of feeling this way I don't trust myself to drive !

      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?
