Had Surgery on Monday



Recommended Posts

Left hospital on Tuesday with no pain but I think I over did it walking too much and was in bed the rest of the day. Hope it gets better. How long does pain last?

Didn't have pain when got home after 4 days at hospital post surgery...just walk as much as u can it takes awhile to build up strength. I started with like 10 minutes a few times a day and then worked up slowly to an hour. Walking is a great healer but don't push yourself...baby steps. Make sure you get your Protein and Vitamins daily.

i swam three weeks after and was in the gym as soon as i was cleared. i think its because of the type of job i have im used to pushing myself or maybe i got lucky!

Hi Dennis, my surgery was Thursday & I was released Saturday. Out of curiosity, do you still have a drain pouch? Where is your pain?

Hey just seeing this sorry for not responding sooner. I didn't have a drain pouch. I had a little pain the day I came out but I think I just over did it walking.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
