Post-op no holding back

My surgery was Friday, September 25, 2015. Weighed at home 226.6. The only soreness was from the gas in my body, there was no other pain. I was nuisance the morning after surgery, but did not get sick. I did bruise a lot on left side lower incision. Research shows this could be where the camera and gas was inserted. Now I did stay to Sunday morning. I am doing my fluids, vitamins, and protein but it is hard to drink any more than a couple oz. At a time. I gained 12lbs of fluids while in hospital but as of today the 29th I am back to pre-surgery

weight. Time for my journey to begin.

    Sounds like your surgery went great and you've had a pretty easy recovery so far. Mine was the same. It was so much easier than I ever thought it would be. And every day gets better. Congrats!

  • Boy that is awesome, good for you! My surgery was two days before yours, on 9/23. I wouldn't say I have a ton of pain, but I did have some. I have a lot of soreness with the incisions now, that's abou

  • Congrats! I am three weeks post op tomorrow and feel great. I had an easy recovery and even went back to work less than the scheduled two weeks. It is going to be a strange and wonderful journey!

Just do research, my Dr would have said the switch if it wasn't for my diabetes

I discovered something great. You can shop at Costco online without a membership!

I went on to check it out and ran thru the order. I got 4 -18 packs with no shipping charges and no membership.

That's how I do it now.

That is good to know! I was going to start stocking up on them but they expire pretty quickly so I'm going to have to wait. :)

Great Job! This surgery has been a huge blessing for me. Now is the time to start planning your new life, meal options, scheduling, meal planning, etc. You have to stay vigilant. You can do this!
