coughing is really hard and a little painful. My medication is irritating my esophagus.

I slept in our recliner in the livingroom for a few nights... it was the only place I could get comfortable...

Keep ahead of the pain and take our pain pills on time, regardless of where your pain is at the moment. You can relax on that in a couple of days, but for now, stay ahead of the pain!

You'll be feeling better soon!

Some people gain from the IVs, that is Water weight, and it'll come off :)

I'm 1 day post op just got home from hospital A few hours ago. I was pain free when I left hospital and now I'm feeling some soarness in my tummy. I have a little bit of a headache. Here's the kicker, I was 249 lbs at surgery and I weighed myself as soon as I got home and I weighed 260 lbs What gives? Do I.v's put that much weight on me cause I have litterly been drinking little ounces of Water and juice. My our issue is my flat bed can't find a good angle for sleeping without soarness, I guess I'll pop another T3

How long has everyone worn your binder

I wasn't offered one, and honestly, today is 16 days post op, and I'm beginning to feel all normal in the belly area. I had that 'pull' for a long time, and even a day or two ago it was there... I realized this afternoon that it's really improved a lot!
Omg I can't wait for that day!!!!

I had the same thing, but 1 week out and I'm back down pre surgery. I think it's all the fluids they pump into you and also the swelling. I still have alot of swelling in my abdomen. Back sleeping sucks! But I can say that last night I was able to sleep a little while on my side. Hang in there. We got this!

I just take some beads in my mouth and take a sip of liquid and repeat.

Or you could probably mix it in no sugar added apple sauce or yoghurt when you are allowed to have it.

I started out adding my meds to my yogurt but it made me not like my yogurt so now I grind the meds and open the capsules and put them in my mouth and swallow with flavored water. It's much easier for me and I am hoping to like yogurt again in the near future haha.

I was doing great my pouch has been heeling at a very rapid rate. I had already been able to try some solid foods with no trouble, right up till i tried some pretzels. I just went through the most painful experience in a long time. I didn't vomit but god i wish i had to relieve the pressure. Do yourself a favour do not try pretzels very bad combo for pouch. Going back to fluids to give tummy a rest.

I'm about 3.5 weeks post op and hit the dreaded week 3 stall. I've had some issues with eating too much, even though I measure the food at every meal. Seems that even 1/4 cup is too much for me. If I eat less I feel fine as long as I eat it slowly.

I'm still sleeping on my back using the wedge pillow. I tried laying on my side and it just feels funny and I'm scared I'm going to mess something up. I'm so used to the wedge pillow and sleeping on my back now.

My healing seems to be going good. Every now and then I'll do something and be like "oh, they did something there to me". Still being careful with bending over a lot as that bothers me. Still wish I could work in the flower beds at home, but that's a lot of bending and moving :(.

Right now the biggest thing is mentally. My goal was 30 pounds in 1 month. I'm at about 20 now. My 1 month is in a week. This stall doesn't help any. I'm sure I should get more calories, but I can't eat any more than I am now. I'm working on getting my Water in. Protein isn't a problem with my morning shake and afternoon/evening shake. Trying to get into a routine for walking since that is all I can do right now for exercise. Just scared that this is all I will lose and I will be a failure :(

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
