Pain Level After Surgery
leilaniessence replied to Wendell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I woke up sobbing. Part of it was due to feelings of "oh my god, did i actually do this?" and most of it was due to massive pain. I was given medicine right away, but I continued to sob. I think I was just incredibly emotional. Two hours later I was made to get up to walk. I'd say that was about a 5 out of 10 on pain. Varied from 4 to 6 over the next 4 days and then hung out around 3-4 for the next 3 days. After that, it was fine. But that's just me! -

Very excited about all the responses!! -
Funny (?) Memory: When I was a little girl, I remember being ecstatic (yes, I said ecstatic) about getting bigger clothes. One time, I was at the store with my mom and a size 8 pants didn't fit. I got a size 10 and it fit. I was jumping with excitement because I thought I had grown. Come to find out years later, I was growing rounder... not TALLER (like I had thought). smh... =p

Pain or gas in chest that goes to throat
leilaniessence replied to shallene's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same exact sensation. I saw my doctor about it and he said it was fine, that my body was just getting used to the shock of surgery, etc. Just keep walking as much as you can. Also, something that helped me was to softly massage my throat with two fingers (just over the adam's apple, over and over). It helped me burp and feel better. This sensation went away by about day 7 (for me), so just hang in there!! -
New enjoyment: Being able to (FINALLY) wrap a large bath towel around me completely (and not just barely to make sure the "essentials" are covered up)!!

Hi everyone, I just registered for myfitnesspal.com (leilaniessence) and would love to find more bandsters on there! I hear that people keep their food journals "public" and think that would be a great way to start getting ideas. I'm still in the liquid phase for another 1-2 weeks, so I'm afraid I won't be much help (YET), but eventually I'll get there Let me know if it would be okay to friend you!
