Looking for March surgery buddies!



Recommended Posts

Better late than never. Surgery March 29. Freaking out emotionally. Please advise.

Worried about: pain, hydration status, and weakness. I've heard about hydration and weakness from a few people, with them stating it was severe. Only one person said there was pain.

I'm having gastric bypass surgery. I'm very confident with surgeon, just need more info about peoples' post-op experiences. thanks!

Hi virginiaRN, it seems as though there are lots of different experiences with those three areas but my two cents from my experience is my weakness improved dramatically the more I walked. I felt exhausted and mentally foggy right after getting to my room from recovery but I forced myself to walk before I got into bed and it helped so much. One lap and the sedation fog was lifting and I felt less exhausted. It's very counter intuitive but the walking works for pain, bloating and weakness. When you are not sleeping or sipping, walk.

Staying hydrated is a big chore and it's just about keeping a cup of liquid with you at all times. I was forced to drink 80 grams Isopure Protein and a pitcher of Water in 24 hours and it was a challenge. Once home I haven't gotten the 64 ounces the past two days but it's getting easier to drink each passing day. Do your best and try not to worry. Wishing you the best on surgery day.

      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
