Wreck 1 week post op



Recommended Posts

I had my first wreck today on the way to work. 6 am and I smack a deer and air bag hit me straight in the stomach. Everything is okay but was terrified I screwed my stomach up.

Is the deer okay? (Just trying to lighten the mood.:) )

Didn't you post something the other day about your extreme fatigue?

I did but it was due to not sleeping well in my recliner. I started back in bed and was feeling much better. No pain meds either. Deer came out of nowhere and I didn’t see it until I hit it. Car is totaled and now I’m in ER for watery bloody stools... been a great day. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Watery, bloody stools? I hope that's not because you have a bleeder internally. What tests are they planning to run? Is this your second visit to the ER, or did you initially go after your accident?

This is just horrible. Do you have a good support system to help you get your life back on track?

Do you live at home with your parents? (I ask only because your user photo is of a very young woman.)

As if your recovery isn't a challenge enough, you get into a car accident and get gut-punched by an airbag.

Who needs this kind of drama, particularly now?

I have a great support system and they said no bleed internally so they don’t know why I had blood. Follow up with surgeon in next few days so hope that goes good

Glad on all counts, McKenzie. I'm glad you have a strong support system.

I bet you've scared the becheezits out of everyone in the last few days.

As a mother of four, it's always a big worry when something scary like this happens to a child.

As for your fiancé, he better get used to the idea of for better or for worse,

for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, after car-deer accident and post bypass surgery...

Life is full of surprises, some more surprising than others.

Oh he has been absolutely amazing to me through it all. He’s my biggest supporter other than my mom.

Then you've got it made, Girl. I hope you'll be sharing regularly as you progress.

Are you sure you're feeling okay post deer? I'm still a bit worried about you. The mother in me can't help myself.

Keep monitoring your stools for blood. Bright red vs. darkish black-purple.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
