Bariatric Stuffed coughing support Bear



Recommended Posts

Anyone else get one of these?

We each got this weird stuffed bear with instructions on how to hold him against our bellies to brace for coughing. He's made to kind of fit against you and provide support.

He's kinda fun....wears a little teeshirt that has illustrations of your procedure on it so you can show people with a visual.

Weird, but kinda sweet. He has no butt. LOL And he's kinda ugly.

Isn’t there some kind of law against calling a Teddy Bear ‘kinda ugly’? 🤣🤣🤣

I think he's cute- when I had my gall bladder out in the bad old days when surgeries were open I had a chicken pillow. Why did I need one, instead of a subcostal which was more or less traditional I had a right paramedian which meant I had an incision to "splint" when I coughed. Boy Chickie was my best buddy for awhile, think he's upstairs in the toy chest, wonder if he wants to go to Columbus on my Bariatric journey?

      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! 😞
