October Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

@@amylynns, what a terrible decision to have to make this late in the game. I wish I could help but this is a hard one. Go with the best available information and don't try to beat yourself to death with "what if." You can't predict the future.

Good Luck. I would focus on that 4:45 AM hospital arrival. You'll get to sleep after surgery.

@smilley922 I can't believe they are not making you use the Cpap. They are required to. I was told if I did not bring mine they would not be able to operate. I am so MAD, I want to go over and slap them (I don't believe in violence but I wish I did in a moment like this.)

I was told if I didn't bring mine the hospital would use theirs and it would be VERY expensive and insur wouldn't pay bc I have one that they already pd for.

I just want to pass gas that is the focus of my day.

Pass gas, drink Water, get Protein in.

The gas is in my lower left quadrant.

I can feel and hear it burbling around but I can't get it out.

Gonna start with baby banana food mixed with GENEPRO.

@@smiley922 I see. It makes sense since they placed you on oxygen. I happens to a lot of people because of the intubation and Fluid build up sometimes your lungs can't get up to capacity or are not as effective with breathing. I had oxygen once and actually loved it. I felt so much better.

@@layknee are you home? I have gas too, but I just lay on my side and it just flows lol. I did like 10 squats and it helped also. I haven't had any Protein yet, I think I start today when I leave, I'm looking forward to it, all I've had is Water, and broth. Thank @ amylynns! I'm looking forward to the menus you sent me once I get home, I'm craving a shake lol.

@misstvb@Beni thanks ladies, I am so surprised that I haven't felt pain. When I woke up from surgery I was crying like a baby but after that they took care of it and it hasn't been bad at all, I feel brand new, they even fixed my back. I'm just dying to taste anything. Water has gotten so boring fast. I just took pills and they weren't hard to swallow either. I think my period is coming down too, which is odd because I was on a 90 day cycle prior and my last period came in august I think the surgery fixed everything in me that was screwed up.

      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?
