Any surgery pals this week?



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 days post surgery and on the liquids, I'm. Really hungry, irritable, gassy and having pains when I swallow. Any ideas on what I can do to be more creative with the liquids. This is tough.

Hey I'm 4 days post op and having a hard time with liquids as it hurts to swallow. I found that drinking through a straw is much easier. Also I tried crystal light mixed with my Water and it was easier to drink than straight Water. Lastly I used to love ice cold water but now I found I can tolerant warm or room temp water much better on my stomach.

Honestly I'm over the whole plain water thing aleady. I tried tea yesterday but without sugar or honey it was pretty gross. Today my mom bought me a Frappuccino from Starbucks with fat free milk, sugar free Syrup and no whip cream and I was able to drink half of a small size. Now that I think about it I'm not sure I should've had that since milk wasn't on my post op guidelines until day 7. this is definitely tough. I'm not quite hungry yet I just keep walking in the kitchen as more of a habit than me being hungry.

To my kids and I was feeling great at first. I bet if I had the hospital

Meds in me I'd be feeling a little

Better. But each day will

Get better im sure.

I feel the same way too. I have a 2 month old and an almost 2 year old so I was rushing to get home. Now it's even harder.

Hi I had surgery in 28 April. I had major issue with the anesthesia and nausea. Overall I am doing well. I did stay an extra day in the hospital and I think that really helped. For the nausea they ended up putting a patch on me. The patch made a difference.

I am doing well with keeping Water down. Each day is getting better.

      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!!
