Recommended Posts

well my IV is mostly out (needle in arm for another round of antibiotics) but leg compression thingys are on.. yay.

DH and company are at hotel so its nice & quiet... :w00t:

things are pretty good.

I walked again and even gave myself a wash cloth bath..

I'm still really pale, nearly translucent (sp??) haven't hadpain meds since about 3am ish, will get more in a bit.

dr p came in and offered a narcotic shot, I declined.

Lipo bruising is nasty bad, I'm really sore, but nothing too horrid.

I wanted to thank u all again for your support, REALLY appreciate it.

sorry this post is all over the place, I'm just typing as I remember... :huggie:

Hang in there. I had the exact same thing - low grade fever and low BP. They kept me 2 extra nights, but it was nothing bad. Sounds like you doing well.

if they are giving you something in your iv to raise your blood pressure that will make you swell even more, but its only temporary. checked out your pic on your blog....goodbye belly hello thighs. it must feel great to see the old pals again. lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
