Embarrassing post-op moments?



Recommended Posts

So today I was sitting around proctoring while my students took an exam, naturally it was very quiet EXCEPT for my stomach that was making loud inhuman noises randomly throughout the whole session. I kept hoping no one would hear them because we are in a good sized lecture hall or that if anyone could hear them that they would just think I was very hungry and not that I had to go to the bathroom or anything lol

Anyone have a similar experience or want to share the self-humality with a story of their own?

No. I can't beat that. I'm thinking maybe no one can!

But maybe cuz it's cause you said "proctor" in connection to gurgly gas sounds? bahahahaha 🤣

Just my icky hiccup/burp noises. I think the fellow members of my teaching team are used to it, but I still think they’re gross

I was about 1 month out from surgery and had to make a trip out of state for a family obligation. While visiting, I had lunch with my former neighbors and very good friends. We went to my favorite Chinese restaurant. I enjoyed my egg drop Soup and had a few bites of cashew chicken. *I was on soft regular food by then.

Well, I guess something did not agree with my sleeve. I started foaming and sliming all over the place. I tried to walk it off. Hell, I even had my friend pound my back like some overgrown toddler needing to burp. I thought I was going to vomit, so went into the bathroom where all of a sudden I felt better. So, I went back to visit with my friends and mid-sentence, a mouthful of foam just appeared.

I was mortified. My friends were shocked.

I'm embarrassed to admit (not really), I can't figure out the joke?

Lol. At least it was someone you were hopefully close enough too where they understood why your stomach was making those noises. I wasnt about to explain to a lecture hall full of students that I had surgery and my stomach wasnt making those noises because I had to sh*t

Now I'm going to cry where no one can hear me, in the shower while washing my hair...

I never considered someone discussing it... With friends

Oh the, cards against, humanity

Proctor - or even shorter..."procto" and then in relation to gas. Not nearly as funny when explained, but I heart nose and potty humor so I was easily amused by it. :D

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
