1 week post op,,,



Recommended Posts

Well it is 1 week today post op...

I am doing pretty good,,,

Since 8/16 when I started the Optifast I have gone from 226.5 to 210.5 by my scale.. 8 of those are post "hitchhiker",,, tongue.gif

Sometimes I am soooo hungry- I guess in my head, but If I get enough Water in I am pretty good feeling...

I started getting nausea spells Saturday morning...

I Gag and try "not on Purpose" to throw up the chewable pre-natal Vitamins... It is soo hard taking them..

I have kept pretty busy too, been doing house work, laundry, cleaning my daughters room, going through all of her clothes, she is 6 and had a major growth spurt, so tall and only weighs 45 lbs.. People kid me and tell me I dont feed her.... took her to the park with HotLikeMe and her kids... Went to her daughters Birthday party, went in the pool for a little bit...Man it was rough they had hamburgers there and Hotdogs, etc... But I took my big jug of Crystal light, and drooled while my Hunny ate his burgers and hot dogs,,,, and french fries baked... cry.gifcry.gifcry.gif

Yes its hard but seeing the "Bonus" pounds come off is great while I am healing.... I can see a difference in my face already, just a lil bit....

GOOD JOB !!

I'm glad your feeling pretty good. Thats always encouraging ;)

Those Vitamins sound horrible. My doctor recommends childrens Vitamins, I'm not sure of the dosage but I think he said you can eat at least 2. Call your doctor up and ask. Vitamins are known for tasting horrible, I can only imagine ICK ICK ICK!!!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Congrats and welcome to the banded gentry!

I think all the chewable multi-vits are ICK but I manage with the viactiv multis & Calcium. Less ick.

Excellent! one week out and you are go-go-go! Now that's what I like to see! Remember to be kind to yourself in the next few weeks when you are feeling tired and dont understand. You've just been through a major surgery, and need to be kind.

Excelent work!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
