Day after surgery!



Recommended Posts

I was discharged yesterday and everything went swell! Got my sleeve and the doctor fixed a hernia that I had and he removed my gallbladder which I am very thankful that he did because apparently I had a couple big gallstones. I'm healing just fine and all but I'm hurting so much on my left side. I've been walking here and there and icing it when I lay down which helps a lot. I'm so excited to pass this phase and ready for phase 2. Just wish this pain would stop already!! >_

I've heard heating pads can help with the pain too. Maybe try alternating ice and heat?

Glad all went well!!!

Jacks, ???? (lol), I'm feeling some progress today. The gas movement is my next tackle, as I was able to meet my Fluid and Protein targets yesterday, yippee! As many have suggested, walking helps tremendously, but I really want to sleep and relax as much as possible while home, so my stomach can excellerate the re-mending.

How are you doing?

That's great!! :) I feel like I've gotten rid of most of the gas but there's this one part, my upper left side of me, that hurts so I'm walking it off every 2 hrs for at least 10/20 minutes . I honestly forgot to incorporate the Isopure with the Water intake for the first stage so I added that in and omg I was so happy that I was drinking anything but Water xD! Isopure is heaven!! ^_^ When I finally got to my hotel all I did was sleep it off and wake up at odd hours to do the sperometer and drink water. (And use the toilet) I think sleeping definitely helps the healing you should go for it! sleeping and the ice pack helps a lot ! Just wish I could lay sideways again cuz laying on my back the entire time is starting to be a killer lol.

I know exactly how you feel I'm the first week marker from my surgery and had a hernia repaired. The pain in my left shoulder is unbelievable. I've iced and heated but nothing has helped. It's the nerves that are aggravated causing the pain. I hope it subsides soon.

      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?

      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
