Day 10- how did you feel?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery June 26!! So excited. A few months back I had planned a large tattoo and have an appointment 10 days after surgery on July 5. I was wondering if I should reschedule...

It'll be a long day starting at 12:00. If I'm going to feel okay, no need to reschedule or will I be sore/tired??

Depends where it is. I couldn't be on my stomach at all right now (exactly ten days out) and I'm tired. Like TIRED. I'm also 53 and ya know. You may be younger and bounce back just fine.

Also, wouldn't you want to wait to see what your body does after surgery. Skin shrinking could change the look

I'm ten days out today. I wouldn't recommend it. Tired, weak. Your skin will change, wait.

Hello

I would reschedule Your tattoo appointment because everyone heals different and you need to rest and make sure you are well enough before doing anything else and also you don't want to risk getting a bad infection if any complication. Of course you must make the best decision but I would take it one step at a time. You can always get it another time. 😊. Best of luck

Definitely wait, you want your body to focus on healing up your insides and incisions, and you don't need another thing to worry about washing and tending to, and potentially getting infected.

      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! 😞
