GetInMyBelly

Note:: not only should u not pick anything up heavier than 5lbs but seriously avoid closing heavy windows, too. I totally pulled my belly hard just now trying to shut slide down my window. Owe!!!!!!

Me too. Everyone seems to tell me it's normal N to do less but walk more. It hurts

Lol luckily there's an upside to everything :0)

Thank u!! U will get even further than me!! Apparently I'm a Slow loser. I could've done the preop better by getting more Protein in n the same with now. LOL Boobs comment above!!! I'll admit I'm scared of them sagging more than I sm of them shrinking. The worst is it sits on the upper incision. But there's always a boob lift possibility down the line ;0) Today I'm having cucumber juice poured over my yogurt. Yum. Refreshing.

Thank you kindly!! I appreciate those tips. I'm sure you are very right. :0)

It was good to do the preop liquid diet cuz it prepped me for this post op liquid diet . One wk down, one go go.

I forgot to mention my journey outside the home yesterday. One hour waa plenty. I went to the market and for a car ride as the passenger. I put a fluffy towel under seatbelt. Felt nauseous from the entire car ride n bumps caused gas but I was really thirtsty on the trip n drank a lot n even I'm market drank a lot. The market was a challenge to see n snell the foods but I focused on finding the yogurt only and a flow plant to cheer up my room. I feel that during walking the pain dissaoears but I am weak n sometimes dizzy but after walking that's when the body aches come for me. I live on the second floor where I'm staying currently (when I go home in a wk I'll b on third floor), so I've Been going up n down quite a lot n walking with dogs in backyard. I try to do that 2-3 times a day with naps in between. Hugs!!

Stay strong n thank you for sharing. I'm 7 days out myself. I understand moving is not always easy. It's after walking that the body aches come for me. I live on third floor so I've Bern going up n down quite a lot n walking with dogs in backyard n took trip to market yesterday with mom (which was exhausting) also nausiating to sit in car. Good luck! Hugs!!

Thank u. It's 4am n I've been in bad pain All night in right side like stitches r stretching feeling inside n pulling pain. I'm wondering if it's gas or I drank too fast. I added in another 1/2 protein drink to the above amnt I listed above that I had because I felt I did not get enough nutrients in last night, and honestly I was very hungry. Right now I Just took a sip if water n have extreme headache sore neck n naseousness. This happens everytime i wake up n I took a anti nausea pill n am sitting drinking a bit. Took temp n am ok. I take my temp twice a day just to check. I'm debating whether to take a pain med now or not. Anyhow, I was awake n thought I'd write my nighttime journey. Hugs

Question::: u know how we r not supposed to drink half hr b4 or after we eat.,. Does that also apply to drinking with big chewable vitamins????

1. U will wake up (it was my fear, too) 2. Sounds like your surgeon hasn't caused previous complications 3. U should make it home by the 23rd latest since you WON'T have complications. They wouldn't even let me stay a third day even though I wanted to. 4. Worry bout the skin when u get to that point n focus on health for now, which is most important. That's my plan. I'm excited for u!!! Nervous is normal!! Hugs!!!

I'm at end of first wk n don't feel depressed there's too much adaption to focus on so I'm busy with this new transition n it's relatively exciting, however can b overwhelming at times with post surgery issues. No crying or sadness though.I feel hopeful not hopeless :0)

IS THIS ENOUGH INTAKE IN A DAY FOR POST OP LIQUID DIET? 48 grams protein, 280 calories, 11carbs This is from vitamins, a protein drink, yogurt, and a Popsicle. I had two small bottles of h2o also.

Ok people, so the pain In the left shoulder, collarbone, side of neck is true with gas in hiccuping n burping. It happens after I take a nap on top of a snack/meal. So maybe waking after a snack is best n drinking super slow once u wake up can avoid this feeling n tightness. It's good my first yogurt lunch was good in my belly ;0) sipping now. The pain was heavy on right side when I woke up from my nap just now so day 6 n pain meds r needed for me but I'm trying to take less. I will walk now before the evening. I hope u all r doing great!!! Xoxo

It's not horrible it's what was expected. Still b excited!!!!! This is just my experience and thank goodness I didnt have any major complications at all!! I will continue to post. I'm honest, not a complainer, but what I'm experiencing has happened to most apparently. Our bodies r strong n u can do this!!! ;0) it'll b happier posts I'm sure once I start losing real weight n can start to eat n exercise for real. ;0)

Thank you. I'll keep it coming. glad it's helping ;0)

U r welcome. Thanks for reading n writing n ill keep info coming. Weighd myself this morning n down two more pounds. A total of 12 pounds since preop diet to date. That's three wks. So I walked n went In sun for Vitamin d for a bit. It was good. Im not wearing sports bra so id suggest you do so cuz when i walked for a while n get hot the right breast hurts the upper incision. Just an fyi. Protein drink gave me gas I think so I just ate two tablespoons of nonfat plain greek yogurt n mixed it with two teaspoons of broth. It was good. I'm craving a soft egg, but I know that's not a liquid. I'm laying down now and will walk again later. The yogurt was actually a really great move! I'm sick of Jello and Popsicle cuz it's not giving me protein n energy I need. My blood sugar , which I check for fun (since I Don't have diabetes) was very low after my morning 1/2 cup of premier Protein shake. I am sipping Water n hope to get two more bottles in today. Tonight I plan on doing the same yogurt n Soup combo for dinner. I listened to u all n walked n u were right it helps with the gas n nausea. But the pain is still there on right side. No, i never had csection. My mother had three though. She said a hysterectomy was much more painful than that so I imagine this would b, as well. I go to my doctor on Tuesday. I'm making a list of questions to ask. By then it'll b 11days post surgery. My right eye still does not stop twitching. Lol I've taken three showers since surgery n the bandages are all still nicely in tact. I made sure to use antibacterial soaps

Today is a pain day n hard to drink. But doing it and walked. Headache too. I'll keep sipping slow. It's day 6 and the pain is. Little more and gas n naseau.

oh wow. So u did walk or did not walk?? Thank u

I just woke up n took two sips of water n got totally nateous n feeling like there's no room for anything. Is that normal? Now laying in bed uncomfortable n headachy.

How did you find out you pulled an internal stitch? And what was done to heal it? Very curious about this myself... Look forward to your reply...

Thank u. Dont b scared. Hugs to u too!!! :0))))

Good to know I'm day 6 today and having the same issue. It also hurts ny right side horribly when try to drink more than couple sips.

The worst ones are when I get a visual plus sensation that I've fallen n wake up with weak legs freaked out. I'm guessing the vivid dreams and nightmares are coming from the pain meeds. Glad I'm not the only one either. I been feel like I move around and talk in the dreams too. THey are heavy and bizarre kinds.
