Anyone else coughing up crap after surgery? They did say I needed to cough and walk around.

Anyone else coughing up crap after surgery? They did say I needed to cough and walk around.

I had my surgery at grandbury it was a day surgery in and out quick. I'm post op day 2 feeling ok today. Still not super hungry yet. I had Dr.bradly hart he is awesome.

Yes I feel like my husband has never met the real me yet. I can't wait to get some confidence back. Even though we met and married when I was big I want him to have that hot wife he deserves. ; )

Oh well they didn't give me a tool that sucks : ( but I have been walking around so that's probably why I'm coughing up.stuff.

Well I'm getting ready to go in for my very first surgery. I'm nervous and exited all at once wish me luck! I'll try to let yall know how I feel. Here we go.

You are going to be sore but rest and take pain meds as needed

Is anyone else exited about better sex after weight loss. Not to get Nasty but its a reall issue when your really obese right. This is a forum to talk about real issues. Is anyone's sex life spicier since the band? Don't have to go into super details or anything just wondering I'm only 29 so yes I do think about it.

Omg hopetolose that is to funny!

Thank you for your honesty!

I want to hold my head up high tie my shoes without getting out if breath. Run work out eat less have better sex I know tmi but my weight holds me back. I want to grow old healthy. Meet my grandchildren. Not be on blood pressure meds at 29. I'm gonna make my dream come true.

Well I was 355 when I started my journey after the liquid diet I weigh 334 now I see a lot of ppl getting the Lap band when they are already what we concider tiny. But you also have to take in to concideration a lot of those ppl have diabeties, hyper tension, and other health problems that loosing that 59 lbs would help. We all have different journeys this is meant to be a slow processes. All of you are beautiful and will reach our goals in due time. That's why we ate here to support each other. You will all Di so great!

Christine I don't know if this helpes at all but they gave me two rounds of antibiotics anyway when I went in for My surgery. Just for precaution so maybe that's just a head start for them.

You can visit YouTube and many ppl out their pre op shopping list and show you what they bought it was really helpful for me. I got the chocolate delight Adkins sheaks nit bad and they have a coffe flavores in to for breakfast. 3 oz lean meat a day plus two cups of veggies per day lightz chicken or beef broth sugar free hello and sugar free popsicles are free you. An have as much as you want. Meat chicken breast tender loin pork Canadian bacon egg whites beef jerky I would nibble on beef jerkey through the day to keep by tummy at bay and I woud eat pork rines to eas my carb crunchy cravings. Their is a fee more things . But the YouTube really helped me just type in liquid pre op lap band and tons of choices pop up. Good luck I hope it helps. The dic said my liver looked great yesterday when I had my surgery.

Well I am officially post op as of about one today. I hurt but its tolerable. I have finergrin and hydrocodine liquid I'm drinking water and eating a popsicle now. I just had to get up and go per. I was worried but did great. If you have any questiins feel free to ask I'm a very open person.

And and the doc said my liver looked great and super shrunk even though in my birthday at restraunt I ate a very tiny peace of bread. And I ate a little carbless meal once a night. And when I had that horrible sensation for crunchy carb I ate a few pork rines no carbs little fat they did the trick. So rest assure if you cheat a little little bit don't beat yourself up About it I did I lost 20 l bs and the dic was very pleased.

Well guys I'm alert enough to post. I'll give a play by play. I went in at eight they were very quick to get me in. They are so nice and understanding about your nerves. They put in an iv made me pee in a cup just to make sure I wasn't prego lol. My tubes are tied no trouble there. Took off my jewelry and ring ext.. wheeled me back gave me happy juice. They wheeled me on operating room on a stretcher. I was awake to move to operating table. Then I got a shot and out I went. I woke up to not being able to breath as they pulled the tube from my mouth. That was a bit scary. Then I awoke again in the recovery. Yes I was in pain and very nauseous but they quickly gave me lots of pain meds and fenergrin. I had to swallow this barium so they could see me drink it ess pretty cool watching that in x ray. Then took out my iv discharge instructions and home I went.gas bubble moving around. Most ppl toot I've been belching. Gas ex strips pain meds fenergrin I'm good to go guys. I still havnt been up yet. My doc said I need to move around tomorrow. My husband is super man for sure. It hurts but I know the results are gonna be good. Goodluck guys! And thanks for the support and if you have anymore questions let me know. I know how scary it is. Oh and I feel like I did 1 million crunches then someone punched me in the tummy. And my throat is very dry!!!

I'm being banded in the morning. I'm from Stephenville Texas and I'm going to Dr. Bradley hart in grandbury. I'm so nervous and anxious! I'm ready for my new life! I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful husband and family and friends!

Lol your becoming a surgery pro. It's kind of sad I'm willing to have surgery to help me loose weight. I'm so tired of being so big that's whats pushing me through. I havnt told everyone about this just close friends and stuff not all of Facebook or anything. My husband is a little nervous since two women have left him after loosing massive ammounts of weight. Anyone else's spouse worried?? Don't get me wrong he is still super supportive.

Oh cool thanks for the luck I'm going to need it! I'm a ball of nerves.oh and happy birthday ; )

Well I've been scheduled for surgery at 8:15 am in the morning 6-12-12 I'm super nervous I've never been cut on before so I'm getting jitters for sure! I've already lost 23 lbs from the liquid diet I've been on for two weeks so I'm sure my doctor will be happy. I'm a June bander too! I just turned 29 on 6-9 so this is a good present. Oh and just incase any one hasn't heard of banded Wendy on YouTube her videos are very helpful!! And skymoon's videos
