Just had surgery 2/14



Recommended Posts

I’m so sorry. I had mine on 2/13/23, gas x helped. It’s so much harder for you since you can’t walk much . That’s what helped me with gas pain. Gas pain is a nightmare. Talk to your surgeon team to see if there’s another way to help . Hope you feel better

Thanks appreciated. Having a tough time meeting Protein goals but trying my best. Today I start my 3rd week diet where I can finally have eggs and possibly tofu (if I can stomach it ) so hopefully a turning point on the protein.

I had to have emergency surgery because my bowels got clogged so they reentered into two of my incisions which hurts like hell. All my incisions are glued but I have stitches on the inside behind the two incisions that they went back into. So it’s hard to get up and move around or even do much for myself

Oh I’m glad you got the help you needed. Some people like the binder, some don’t. I love using Spanx and binders because the sloshing sensation and sqeegy sounds of moving internal organs makes me feel “disemboweled” from days of yore. I used them for prior emergency hernia surgery too. It’s a personal preference thing. Maybe you don’t feel, hear, or see sloshing? I wish you well and healing comfort.

Oh, I only use them for recovery, like a month. They are too hot and restrictive generally. Best to you!

Just a lil update I’m doing much better. I’m up and moving around. Tomorrow will be my 1 month recovery date from my original bypass surgery date. I’m taking in food pretty well. I only struggle with reheated food it seems my stomach won’t digest it. But other than that I’m good. How have you guys been?

      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! 😞
