8 weeks post-op



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, it's been eight weeks today since I had surgery. I've been reading the forums but I've been pretty busy lately and haven't had much of a chance to make any post.

I'm so thankful that I decided to have this surgery, I've had absolutely no complications at all, no pain no nausea nothing at all.

I have been able to get between 80 and 90 g of Protein every day, and anywhere from 68 to 75 ounces of liquids everyday, I'm maintaining approximately 1,000 cal a day.

I have lost a considerable amount of weight, I've went from a 4XL shirt to a XL and from a size 56 to a size 38 in pants.

I have truly been blessed!

That is so exciting to hear. All I can say is I hope for similar results however, I do not expect things to go that smooth. I l like to prepare for the worse and enjoy it when the worse does not happen! You are rocking this.... I'm excited to see how it goes in the long run for you.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
