2 Days Post-Op and feeling great!



Recommended Posts

Hey! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am 2 days post op and feeling 100x's better than I had ever imagined! I still have a little soreness when I move certain ways, but its kinda like my ab's are just really really sore from a good work out or something! I have a little bit of congestion and I will probably go 2 the doc tomorrow if it does not get any better to make sure i don't have pneumonia, but im sure that i dont!! This morning I was able to shower by myself and I actually felt like drying my hair and putting on a little make up! Oh and I have already lost TEN pounds so im pretty pumped bout that!!! I just wanted to open up and let u guys ask me any questions if you have them!

I wish you all the best of luck!

Roxy :huh2:

Congratulations on getting banded and feeling great! I hope I'm as lucky as you!

I'm getting banded on December 30th and I'm slightly freaking out!! I know this is what I want, but I'm just a little worried about the whole thing.

I'm doing the pre-op liquid diet right now. They said I can have Jello, slim fast shakes/protein shakes, and if i need it, a small chicken breast in the evening. WHat did you do for your liquid diet? They said I cant have red or orange Jello which is the only flavors I like! Did you eat any of the sugar free Jello puddings?

What was surgery like? Do you have 5 incisions?

Well I actually didnt have 2 do a preop diet besides the day before liquids only and nothing after midnight so I will be no help to you there!

Surgery was quick and I dont remember anything about the day after they put me to sleep! I slept a lot, and getting in the liquids the first few days was rough but other than that it was great! Yea i do have 5 incisions but I can tell that they wont be very visible after I heal well and everything! My mom had gastric bypass sugery 4 years ago and you cant even see hers at all!

Good luck! Dont be too nervous, it will go well!! Feel free to ask me any other questions!!

Have a great day!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
