Hi. Chell - it’s an off and on thing. If I go too long without pain meds and having walked more than I can handle I go into terrible pain but nothing like I was when I had to go back to the hospital. They think I’ll be discharged again tomorrow as long as pain is under control with this Vicodin instead of the norco they gave me before. I only passed a stool once but I’ve had gas a little since then when I’d go to the bathroom so it’s more progress than before. They said it was ileus or however you spell it - when you get backed up because your intestines stay asleep longer than intended so when I’d eat or drink fluids it kept compressing on my stomach and expanding and not moving anywhere. Has me terrified of it happening again but I think gas happening is a good sign. Thanks for asking :) how r things on your end ?

Thank you! Surgery isn't until 1:00 so it might be late before I can check in.

How are you doing today?

Today was a MUCH better day than the past days. I've had a couple bowl movements, and most times I can walk around without the walker's aid (I needed it from the pain I'd had). Still pain, and still struggling with liquids and Protein but I'm trying. How are you doing?

@zerocool glad the pieces are falling into place, after surgery must be like doing one of those 10,000 piece puzzels, everything does fit but you have to keep,adjusting until you figure out how piece goes. Every gain is a gaon, your healing will be your own, but give yourself permission to figure things out..

Guys I’m getting nervous. Surgery is Tuesday morning. I’m so scared. My first surgery ever. I’ve wanted this surgery for years and now finally doing it. At my preop they said i would have a NG tube left in until Wednesday morning. I’m freaking out!!!! Did anyone else have this waking up from surgery. Someone who has had the surgery calm my nerves lol.

Still in pain and groggy today. Didn't get to my room until 9:30 last night. My heart rate was too high so they kept me in recovery a while.

Yesterday my husband had to go to the ER while I was in surgery for severe abdominal pain. Right now he's waiting to have a CT to see if it is appendicitis. UGH! He's so worried that he won't be able to take care of me if he does.

Can I cry now?

*hugs* everything will work out one way or another. On the bright side, if there is an appendix issue they’re catching it now vs if it burst which would be much more serious. Sorry to hear about it nonetheless :( hopefully recovery is going well now that you’re out of the recovery area. My heart rate was higher also and they didn’t come tell my bf I was out of surgery and being moved to a room for almost 3 hours after I’d left To go into surgery so he was sure there was something wrong since the surgeon said it was typically an hour and a half long on average.

      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!!
