Been stalking a few weeks ... figured I’d say hi!



Recommended Posts

Hi!! My name is Jessica. I’m new on here and have been stalking posts for a few weeks. Any question I’ve had so far I’ve been able to find an answer what an amazing help this app has been for me!
I had a lap band placed in June 2009 and subsequently removed in July 2016. I just had Gastric Bypass a few days ago on October 24th. After a couple pain filled restless nights in the hospital I was discharged on Friday afternoon and I am feeling much better now.
I am not in too much pain, some abdominal pain that is well controlled with meds, zero incision pain. I have pain when deep breathing though so I’ve been using the incentive spirometer like a champ!
I don’t feel hungry at all. Have no difficulty getting my liquid diet items down at all thankfully. I am definitely craving some carbs though!
Anyway so far so good for me, wanted to say hello and get to know you all. 🙃😉

Welcome, Jessica. I'm glad you broke out of your shell in order to join in. Now that you've crossed over to the other side, so to speak, you can be an inspiring source of information for others who are preparing to go through what you are currently experiencing. Pay forward by helping others. Not only does helping others feel good but, I believe, it truly helps each of us to be more triumphant with our own journeys. We've all started out by saying "hello". Now it's your turn to be a comfort to others in their time of need. While we all still need the wisdom and compassion of others from time to time, the best feeling is helping another person here get through their particular hardship.

Again, welcome. You have so much to offer!

They, like the military, are largely unsung, and do a very special job. Nursing is always patient-centered, medicine Is disease centered maybe that's why they are the Calico Cat and the Gingham Dog, they both want their patient to return to health, just 2 different philosophy,to Get There!

      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.
