Recommended Posts

Today is day 2 of my 1wk pre-op liquid diet. This is NOT FUN. But I am not going to complain, the countdown is on and I am so thankful for this! Been thinking about and looking for updates for all those who had surgery today. I just know all are well!

Had my surgery this morning. I am so hyper. Found out that I was given more than enough anesthesia and thwy had to reverse it. I tell you what I was in recovery for 3 hours side affect of the reverse was my blood pressure was high so they were monitoring it. Positive affect possibly very little pain... like 0-1. I am one of the lucky onrs, the nurses are saying. Had one slight case of nausea when I went to the bathroom for the first time but it went away at first by relaxing my mind... so they gave me meds just in case. It's about 12 hours since my surgery I cant sleep still hyped but I am not complaining. Went walking around the floor. Such a relief for now. Hope everyone else is doing well. I am very thirsty not hungry at all. That sponge lollipop is my favorite friend use it about every 10-20 minutes to keep my lips moist. My hospital gave me lip balm, I didn't even think of that so those of you who haven't had surgery yet should consider bringing some.

Thanks for all the support.

I will check back later.

I'm only on day 3 of my pre-op diet.. I can have cream Soups, sugar free pudding, juice, skim milk, popsicles, low cal gatorade, Protein Shakes, tea and coffee... In two days I have grown quite fond of cream of chicken, if you can believe that. I think you kind of get tired of all the sweet stuff after a while . Hope all goes well for you. Can't wait til I'm on day 10 of this diet.

Ok so I'm kind of freaking out! I'm exactly one week post op. and yesterday my 2 year old was coming down the stairs, I was in front of her holding he hand when she let go and leaped into my arms. Of course I had no choice but to catch her. It hurt my belly. Now I'm freaking out thinking I may have caused a hernia.

So I guess my question is...for those of you who are post op, what was your abdominal pain like at 1 week out?

Thank you for the response Blue. I thought I would check here first since it's fresh in people's minds. You tend to forget about pain after time passes. It's a good suggestion though, I think I'll try that too. Glad to see your home and doing well! I wish you continued success!

Today makes one week post op for me and my tummy still hurts me . My incisions are healed but most of my pain feels like gas or bloating pain.

      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
