Surgery Today



Recommended Posts

I am feeling really good today post surgery. After Initial pain for a couple of hours, I have been keeping all my Water down and walking regularly and using the breathing thing. Going to try to get some sleep soon. But I will say the Toradol Really helped. Wish it was one of my prescriptions going home instead of Percocet. I was having trouble with a bit of pain with the water initially. After that shot I’ve had no problems all day. Anyone have a similar experience?

Glad to hear your doing good! Was the pain with Water in your stomach or in your chest? I felt pressure in my chest the first few days. Also was the water cold? I was told to have room temp/ was given room temp in the hospital so I wouldn’t get stomach cramps/pain.

Welcome to losers club...first couple days after surgery are hardest, remember you just had most of your stomach removed. It does get better believe us, we all been there. But please be careful with medication.. remember its only a temporary tool to help get you through the surgery... "You got this"

Thank you. I am trying to stay off the pain medication. The Toradol is like a anti-inflammatory. Today the cuts are kind of hurting more than anything. Especially the bigger one. Hoping to get past this first few days. I know it will get better

Hey Alasyx! How was the whole going under and waking up process. My Surgery is set for Thursday and I’m absolutely anxious and worried about that part of this process.

Surgery went really well. But I cannot lie. I got to go home today on the second day and my incisions are really hurting. It’s hard to get up and down at all. I am fine when standing. Or laying down but those times when you have to get up or excruciating. Hope it passes in a couple of days

      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! 😞
