Day of Surgery!



Recommended Posts

As a preop newbie reading journals of people going through surgery gave me a way better idea of what to expect and now its finally my turn. My surgery is in a few hours and im hoping to give the best insight I can. Im on my way to the hospital now and im feeling really nervous. Im hopeful though! Ive been on a 3 day liquid diet which was what my doctor had prescribed. Its raining today and I love the rain :) ill update as soon as im able after surgery! Send prayers my way!!

Okay guys.... surgery lasted about an hour and waking up immediately after was very painful. It felt like my back and chest were in a vice. Do yourself a fqvor and ask for a heating pad as soon as you are able. Falling asleep while typing this so im gonna make it short. Thank you all for your amazing support. The power of your prayers and kind words helped me through a very scary day.

Update- my back is killing me I think its 60 from pressure and 40 percent that im unable to get comfortable. I sent my boyfriend to get a back massager..which feels good on the pressure pains. Going into this I want sure how much discomfort I would have..I had this idea that I would be medicated and comfortable, but there is only so much they can do. Still no fluids but im not missing food! More to come!

Its very true when they say every hour you get better. I feel very week and extremely uncomfortable but my pressue pains are gone from yesterday. I havnt slept more than 1 hour at a time and I seem to be reacting to my pain meds a but with itching all over. Ive started to feel my insicion pains more. So the first night has been a little rough but more uncomfortable than anything else. Ill let you know how tomorrow goes!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
