Thanks all so far the pain is minimal and all they have me on is a Tylenol ES drip. One of the nurses did say the third day is when the pain gets tough, here’s hoping I get something a tad stronger sent home with me. I had my gall bladder taken out exactly one year ago at the same hospital and the experience was stellar- the nurses were amazing and everything just went right. This time? Not so much. A couple of the nurses are snobs. Thank Goddess for shift changes. And so happy I didn’t forget my headphones- I have a faulty drip machine whose alarm is going off constantly and a roommate that makes sex noises as she snores!!! lol seriously!!! I wanna go home...

I'm glad it's over for you. As for the snobby nurse, that's on her. Welcome to your new life!

Spent one night, pretty uneventful surgery and, so far, the recovery is pretty much textbook. Not much pain, lots of gas bloat still, upper part of my belly hurts- I’ll ask about that when I go to follow up today, probably the actual spot the cut/stapled my new stomach. I’m tolerating Propel, tea, homemade chicken broth, grape Protein 2o and 50:50 Premier Protein:Water. No BM yet. I’m taking a bunch of cat naps (20 minutes at a time) and I don’t like that, I’d rather sleep in good long healthy chunks of time and all night long. Supposed to go back to work on Wednesday and I may delay that until the following Monday, we’ll see.

Yea, let your body adjust to the new you. Your surgery was just a few days ago. Take it easy. How much liquid are you able to take in now?

      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.

      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!!
