Hi guys!! My surgery was yesterday. It went great! I was pretty nauseated from the anesthesia until they tried compazine. It took the nausea away until the anesthesia wore off. My pain wasn't bad. I got up and walked twice. Today has been even better then yestersay. Pain Is minimal today about a 3 but im due for mkre.meda in an hr and 20 min. Pain for both days felt like I worked my stomach muscles out really hard workout.

I have been able to drink liquids 2 half ounces every 15 minutes. And I'm set to go home today! This has been great. I've taken 3 walks so far today since 6a. And have 5 more.to go.

Today is my first full day home. I was very happy to have gone home yesterday. I only spent one night in the hospital. Yesterday when discharged they gave me a liquid form of pain med similar to vicodin. It wasn't nearly as strong enough burdens to be working a lot more.today so far. On your way home I suggest you use the belly band they give you. I am glad I did the roads where I live are bumpy and the band helped hold me in more.

I was still full of gas and hands some burps no fluffed yet. Those came this morning and man it feela better once that extra air from the surgery goes away little by little. It reduces the pressure in the collar bones.

Overall my energy levels are great I already went on a 15min walk this morning. Today pain isnt ss much as the day before so each day seems to be getting better!

Make sure to do your incentive spirometer like they tell you and the walking! Helps prevent pneumonia and walking helps prevent blood clots.

My incisions look great, I didn't need any drainage tube and she used surgical glue to close them up.

Fyi when passing gas try to be near a toilet some are loose.

Glad to hear your home and doing well. You do have to be careful of the gas. I've had a few surprises.

      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!!
