Suggestions for "must have items" in my hospital bag?
Mello1 and one other reacted to AJ Tylo for a post in a topic
Comfy clothes and crocks so you can walk the heck out of the hallway with you headset on and Jammin and farting all the surgery gas out while on morphine! Yes personal care items help but who cares if you smell or look like hell, you did it and wont see them again - JK -

Four days post op and It’s killing me not to be able to pick up my five-month-old son. Now I’m starting to feel guilty and hoping the incision pain will end soon. How long did everyone’s incision pain last? Any words of wisdom? -

Me too - I even ordered a new pretty robe to boost my mood after surgery! -
1 pointHang in there... it will be sooner than you may think right now... for now maybe laying down or cuddling together will get you through the next few days... you should be able to be well enough in about a week.

I had my surgery Jan 14 and Jan 16 I was able to pick up and carry in a car seat. He was 4 months old at the time. I was sore but it had to be done. As I was the only one home with him I also have a 3 and 5 year old. It won’t hurt you if that’s what your worried about. It is uncomfortable and it wipes me out energy wise. -

Anyone decide WLS was for them very quickly?

I decided in 1 day. Literally went from knowing nothing to going to the seminar the next day. Then 3 days later I was in the surgeons office signing on and beginning preop requirements. Around 5 months later surgery, it could have been sooner but I took my children on an extended vacation. When you know, you know. -
1 pointI start soft foods soon as well. Pureed meats are nasty. There is no other way of going about it. Pureed foods have not been my friend due to texture issues. 🤢 I will be so glad to eat meat and other protein foods and not get a sick feeling while it's in my mouth. I can chew, chew, chew and be ok. Lol. Looking forward to being able to eat with my family again. Good luck. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using BariatricPal mobile app

Struggling with gas and drinking
Krimsonbutterflies reacted to MorganS for a post in a topic
I’m officially on post op day 7. Although very early on in my journey I’m staring to feel discouraged. I often have sharp but fast fading gas pain in my chest. It happens mostly when I drink any fluids. I’m trying my hardest to drink all my fluids but it’s been tough. I feel healthy and have already lost a good amount of weight! I’m just becoming worried it will be like this forever!?!
