Anyone having surgery in May



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm post op 4 days. Doing well with my liquids all though I feel very full all the time. Feel just a bit sore when I use my abdominal muscles for something. I ended up with 6 incisions. No nausea, only taking pain meds at night to help me sleep. Up to 20 min in walking about 3 times a day. Cooked a spaghetti meal today including biscuits for my family. Was a little hard but I did it and sat there sipping my broth. Feel a little down today but think I need to get out of the house for a while.

Keep it up mlsaenz, come here we will support you. Don't get down, be strong!

Hi my May buddies I have 24 more hours and it's surgery time, I'm so excited I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight I have been waiting for this for so long what is everyone else doing to stay busy any last minute suggestions ?

Good luck cupcake. I'll have my iPad to keep me busy till then. Keep my mind on my puzzles to think about it. I won't worry till they start moving me in.

Check in is at 8:30am tomorrow. Been trying to keep busy today, doing laundry and cleaning up for my return home on Tuesday. Have to pack by bag still, wash my tummy with the antiseptic cloth and get to bed. Hope I can sleep. I am nervous, anxious, and excited.

Excited, I get to start full liquids tomorrow. Gonna try the premiere Protein Shakes several have mentioned. Hope I like it. Feel a little tired after my Walks but think it's due to the little calories going in. Gonna see if the Protein will help. Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. Keep thinking positive thoughts and get out of bed ASAP and start walking.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
