I got my surgery!



Recommended Posts

Okay so yes very much in pain right now and dehydrated. But I'm doing really well. It honestly feels like I did a hard work out and my stomach is sore. The nurses are shocked at how well I'm walking around and say how it doesn't look like I had surgery. So that's good! I'm very blessed and happy everything went well! No regrets!

Ugh. I can't believe I'm just seeing this now! I've been wondering about you. Glad it went well and I'm sure your mom is very relieved

Hope you are doing well. You sound like a trooper. It gets so much easier if you get up and move around quickly. Good luck on your journey. I’m about 1 week ahead of you, hope to see you update us on your progress!

My doctor gave me something called hyoscyamine. It melted under my tongue and made the gas go away quick. Call and ask for some. It is AMAZING. The gas can be almost too much to bear.

NO, but it's not uncommon to experience allergies after surgery that you didn't have previously, especially if that surgery dramatically impacted your chemical balance. After the birth of my 3rd child, I became highly, dangerously allergic to raw lemon. I was a huge lemon user and suddenly, I couldn't even breathe the air if someone was making fresh lemonade. My doctor explained to me that, for women, this is a common occurrence, if we drastically change the makeup of our body. Childbirth, organ removal, etc. I was shocked.

Sometimes it is temporary, but don't take any chances. If the allergic reaction is dramatic, get an Epipen (the generic one, the branded ones are ridiculously expensive).

Good luck!

      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! 😞
