Night before my surgery!! Surgery 5/16!!



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the moral support. Really nervous that my husband and I are having surgery at the same time. My dogs like to get up on my stomach and chest.:phanvan That's really the only thing I'm worried about, that we can't pick them up to get them off if they sneak up on me.

Sounds like you're feeling pretty good. That's great. :clap2: :clap2:

klopout1,

Thanks for asking about me. I had my surgery yesterday, everything went smoothly. I was even kind of worried as to why I felt so great after surgery, msybe all the meds they gave me in the hospital?? Today I am a little tender around the incisions, but no neausa, no gas pains.

Sending my best to all who go next!!

Thanks Jackie,

Your day is approaching fast! I hope you feel as good as I do. I haven't had much pain at all, only if I push myself too hard.

I hope I do too. Especially after some of the stuff I've heard about the gas pains. I'm sooo glad you're doing so well.

Hey Mal,

Good to hear from you. It sounds like the way I felt too. I didn't have much pain until I got home and my pain meds have helped tremendously. The biggest complaint I had was my mouth being as dry as dirt. That cleared up within a few hours after surgery. I was also soooo tired, but it was a good thing.

My doctor told me that my sorest incision would be where the port is and they were right! It's tolerable but sore. The others I am hardly aware of.

Keep me posted!!

Karen

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
