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!

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!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
