Had my Surgery Today in the Morning...



Recommended Posts

I'm in my hospital bed.. had my gastric sleeve surgery this morning..had to be here at 530am surgery was started at 745am..im in some pain but nothing like I thought it would be. The area where is the biggest incision is the one that hurts the most..i have had two pain meds so far today . About to have another..Gas med and got a shot in my belly to prevent blod clots. My husband had to leave to be home w. Our children. So now I'm just laying here drifting in and,out of sleep. Waiting for greys anatomy and scandal to come back on tonight. They had brought me two trays of food today. Both trays had a bowl of chicken broth, dcaf tea Water flavored crystal light .. I wonder if they r gonna bring me the same thing in the morning.

I have walked 3x. Urinated a lot prob from iv drip.. have had 1 1/2 bottles of water so far.. just wanted to update on my first day.

Great to see that you are doing well!!!! I just had my bypass on Jan 4. I had the same meal after surgery (stage 1). Then by day two being in the hospital I was on stage 2 and the only thing added was the Protein mix.

FOR THE BEST!!!![emoji173][emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]

Had mine this morning to! I feel great everywhere except under the middle of my rib cage. Terrible pain there. Still trying to get a full breath.

So much better now. I walked, took a leak, & got moved into a huge room. If things only improve the next few days then this was a breeze.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
