My surgery date is coming



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness after my first day of full liquids I hit the wall of pain like you would not believe. I thought I tolerated everything well. I could not sleep at all that night and when I got up the next day I had to drive for the first time since surgery. I actually had to go and sit through a 4 hour class. That was fun, NOT. I did it but it was not fun. I went back to clear liquid and drank a protein2o drink along with my Water and that was all I had on Monday. I called my doctor on Tuesday and his nurse told me I may have become lactose intolerant. However I am able to tolerate the regular Protein Shakes just fine.

Doing pretty good. Just wish I could get some real energy back! Guess that will come as I consume more food.

I was sleeved 9/25 and doing fairly well. Believe after some Soup that made my sleeve angry it caused some reflux so I’m behind in liquids and Protein but starting to try to catch up after a couple days of TLC. Still makes me nervous anytime I feel anything because I’m sure it’s one of the horrible complications. Down 16.4 since surgery and 49.7 since I started my pre-op on 8/28. I miss eating but after the soup experience I’m fine holding off for another couple of weeks.

@CRD1981, how bad is it? Are you going to see your surgeon about it or is it small enough you can just,put Neosporin and a BandAid on? When you are finished healing you may just have it not a perfect white line, a mini-wider. My abdominal wall one from when I had my gall bladder &appendix removal is still wider where the drain was in and that was 34 and a half years ago. No shame in my game, I'll show my belly to anyone, it's just few people ask!

I went back to work today. Feeling bit tired this eve and feel some tugging in belly. Prob from inside stitches. Yesterday I started having diarrhea several times yesterday and few times today already. I know that isn’t helping the dehydration that is prob lurking already. Just ready to go home and rest. I go see my surgeon tomorrow for my two week follow up. I noticed I had some pain through my upper back when trying to eat last night but none today. Hope everyone is well. Oh yea and I still have the allergic reaction around all my incisions. Just not as bad.

Is it possible to stall this early on?

Absolutely! Just drink and walk as much as you can without putting too much strain on yourself.

      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! 😞
