Just got home from hospital



Recommended Posts

The day/night of surgery and the following 2 days were pretty awful for me. Then the third day out, everything rapidly started getting better.

Take your pain pills regularly during those first few days. I couldn't have gotten through it without them. (And I took them every 4 hours religiously those days.)

Now, at 8 days post-op, I am feeling pretty good. I get tired very easily, and I have to remember that my body is still in a fragile state (especially when I want to pick something up or bend over).

Good luck and feel better!

@@TammyMMD Take the meds as prescribed - even if you think you feel better. Once you get to the point where they wear off - it's very hard to catch up to the pain again. Be sure to walk alot - get rid of the gas pains and use a heating pad. I'm sure it's good to be home!!!

Drink your water!! At about 10 days out I thought I was Super Woman and over did it. Ended up in the ER and 3 bags of IV.

I got home from the hospital yesterday, in a lot of pain as well. The pain meds work, but I throw up sometimes after I take it bc it doesn't sit well with my stomach. Hoping it all passes soon. I barely can drink or eat Soup. hurts going down

      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.

      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! 😞
