Day 3 since my sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 7/15 weighed at 278 before my surgery. My surgery went well but then my heart rate was extremely fast and my bp was high. I had to the take an emergency cat scan to determine if I had a leakage. Thank god my results was negative because I was nervous. My pain is OK the only thing I'm having trouble with is gas pain and loose stool. Has anyone experience this before? My bp is still high but I'm managing that with my meds. I got weighed and I gained 4 pounds yesterday but I lost a pound as of today 7/17. Hopefully I can go home today and take care of myself. Im nervous but anxious of getting better and starting my life over.

Do not worry about the weight. When I came home from the hospital I weighed and I had gained 10 pounds. It is from the Fluid they give you while in the hospital. Yes I did have loose stool also. Just keep a watch on that so you do not get dehydrated. You will be fine hang in there. Best of luck to you.

You may gain from the anaesthetic. No worries about that. Just walk a lot to get rid of the gas and sip sip sip!

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

      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! 😞
