Surgery it's tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Final rant before I go back for surgery. Why was I told to be at hospital at 5:00 when they won't even take me back until 6:00?

Good luck everyone. See y'all on the other side.

Surgery went well. Walking, sleeping, walking resting, walking, sleeping. Abdomen hurts, feel bloated, and would give up my first born for a rip roaring burp. But the important thing is I made it through. Hope everyone else is doing good too.

One day after and my stomach is hurting and bloated. Slept most of the day but its good to walk around so every hour or 2 I go for a walk. Over 24hr after the op and only now am I allowed to drink some Water but not much. I brought a hot water bottle with me and its saved me alot of pain. Good luck to the rest of you.

Update. Almost 24 hours since surgery. Slept OK. Abdomen still hurts and feels bloated but pain is a lot less than yesterday. Think most of my win is gas related. Feel like a good belch would make it all go away. Throat and mouth still dry but sipping liquids as much as I can. Walking and sitting up seem to help with the gassy feeling. Periodically getting hiccups which I swear are going to kill me.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
