30 Days After Surgery



Recommended Posts

For everyone wondering what to expect, this is what I've experienced 30 days out and where I am. Your results may, and probably will, vary. But at least this might give you at least some idea what to expect. I think my experience is not atypical.

High weight: 311

Surgery wt: 292

Current wt: 268

Lost 43 lbs

Target wt: 210

Virtually no pain after surgery, was back at work Monday after Wed procedure. I had promised my fiancé that I'd "dance" when I woke up from surgery and, sure enough, I was able to shuffle and wiggle enough when they stood me up to be able to make the claim that I did a dance in the recovery room. Weird pain in my stomach for 24 hours one day last week. I think I bruised it somehow, maybe by trying to wriggle around in the crawl space under the house fixing a leaky pipe.

I track everything obsessively. Walking an average of 8000 steps/day. Eating 925 cal/day average; 66 carbs/day; 104 protein/day.

Still on BP meds and PPI. Really want to get off the BP meds.

Eating mostly what I want, but what I usually want is Protein. That said, I've had small amounts of all sorts of things I like, from cornbread and grits to a small piece of birthday cake. The only problem I've had was a steak skewer, which went down like swallowing an old shoe. I figure this is a lifestyle change, not a diet, so I should enjoy the things I enjoy, except now in moderation and as part of a plan.

I also read this board daily. Great stuff and very helpful when I have questions. This community is an excellent resource and I'm glad I stumbled into it. Thanks to everyone for all the information and experience here.

      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.
