4 Days Post-Op

Healthiernewme

My surgery went well. I had some nausea on Day 1 and 2. Mostly, a sour taste in my mouth and spitting up saliva (less than 5 times total). No vomiting, thank goodness. I think it was my body trying to get rid of the anesthesia. By Day 2 night I was feeling pretty ok. No real pain, except for some gas pressure on Day 1 and 2. I would classify that more like discomfort more than pain though. I had no problem walking since Day 1. Day 3 - I was only able to get in about 16 ounces of liquid in. I will try to double that today. It's so hard because you get a tightness in your chest when you drink to fast or often. I'm feeling pretty good, just a little week. My incisions are just a little sore, but no real pain. No bruising whatsoever - really clean looking incisions actually.

 

I weighed in at 199 - so about 5-6 lbs. post-op for a total of about 11 lbs. (with 10 day pre-op diet).

Oh Healthiernewme, you are the first person I've found who had surgery the same day as me - May 9th, right? So far my experience has been just like yours, really quite easy. The difference is that I've only lost 1 lb. post-op, but I'm hoping that will change very soon! Best of luck on your journey to a healthier new you!

Had mine may 9th too!! Same story except I did throw up from nausea the day after surgery. I'm doing well with the liquids. Love my cream of tomato soup!!

Hi Kohe, I'm happy you found us! I came close to vomiting while I was brushing my teeth the second morning post-op but managed to settle down. I found I have to really limit fruit juices because they're too acidic. That cream of tomato soup sounds yummy!

I feel good but since I'm still on clear liquids I am very hungry much of the time and quite weak in the morning until I get a good bit of "food" in me which takes a couple of hours. I'm ready to hit the treadmill around noon but not before. Protein shakes are going to be a welcome addition to my diet!
