Two Days Post Op.



Recommended Posts

Take it slowly. Follow the diet and drink lots of fluids. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out doing great I lost 13 lbs pre op and another 17 post op then stalled. I haven't moved the scale for the last 4-5 days, don't sweat it, it's normal lots of posts on the forum about it.

Good luck.

So I went through with it and I'm home. For those of you who have had it done for a while what tips would you give me?

Some practical tips:

Get a support band. They helped me getting up around and even sleeping

Use your grabby thing. A quick reach down to pull up your covers at night can give you a massive cramp around your incisions.

Walk. Slowly. Try not to go farther than half as far as you can go. It will increase.

Quit when youre tired. Your core muscles have been chopped and pried on and subjected to serious abuse. Take a break.

Walks help with head hunger.

Gently find out what you tolerate. Drinking.... Taking dainty tea party sips makes me crazy. I can take a drink or two at a time. But i didnt know that a couple of days out.

Youre going to make yourself uncomfortable. You will take a bite too much, or a drink too far. Its all part of learning whats new and normal for you.

If something concerns you, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon, day or night, even on weekends.

I'm now six weeks post op and my advice to you is to walk as much as you can, sip fluids, and try to take it easy. At two weeks out, getting dressed made me tired.

      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
