WoW! I made it through surgery and so far 5 days post surgery! I was so nervous! I have had a rough go these last few days! I got the flu and was down with that for 3 days, fever, chills, no energy, gas pain TERRIBLE and last but not least nausea and throwing up! Talk about HELL! I am finally among the living today and feeling like I am going to make it - YEH!!!!:thumbdown: I am excited for my new journey and I love reading all of your posts. I had surgery in Blackfoot, ID by Dr. Avila and was very impressed with him and the staff. I came home the same day. The gas pain in my chest is finally gone (I have to say that is probably the worst part!) and of course the flu! My stomach is sore, like I have done a lot of crunches, but other than that I am feeling great today!

CONGRATS on your first five days! I lost the most weight (14 lbs) during my first 10 days post-op. Then it gets tricky until you start getting fills. Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up during this time. It actually took me 4 fills to have good restriction. Of course, everyone is different. I just wanted to give you a heads up!

GOOD LUCK!!!

its a rewarding journey.

my surgery date: 12-10-07

CONGRATS on your surgery. I'm glad you are feeling better. I know what you men about the gas pain. I can't imagine having the flu on top of that.:thumbdown:

Today is my 8th day banded and also got the flu. My whole family has it now because we brought it home from the hospital with us. One of my nurses had it. The gas was real bad for me too but it stopped yesterday completely. I have alot of restriction. I can only eat about 4 ounces of food at a time. It is hard to get it in actuall I am not getting it all in. It is impossible at this point. I wish you well

The flu? Poor you! I thought I had it bad by bringing home a cold from the hospital. I just had a cough...but vomitting after surgery? eeek!

Glad you are feeling better.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
