Anyone tried eating 8 days post op?
mfee08 replied to mfee08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never said i wanted to cheat. Im simply bored of full liquids. I think im ready to advance to pureed/soft foods. Phase 3 is just a few days away for me. -
Im 5 days post op and I've been close to crying over nothing, even when i get congratulated on my surgery.

As soon as you see your surgeon. But thats if he decides to leave it on. Some surgeons wont even put it. But if he does consider this good, because that way you can see if somethigs not right inside your tummy.

Yes a drainage! Lol dnt be scared not all doctors will leave it and it doesnt hurt. Its just there, every so often i have to empty it and measure how much fluids it sucked out. It sucks out all the blood and irrigation left behind after surgery.

That sounds terrible but good at the same time. Im sorry about the cake thing. This slowly crept up on me. The day after surgery i was crying in the hospital for nothing and also when i got home. Yesterday my mother made me awesome cuban food and i couldnt even have one bite... Im not a sweets fan so i should be good on that side. Hope you get better soon. -

I had my gastric bypass on 3-13-13. My weight on the 12 was 280, current weight 5 days post op is 269. Pain was also minimal but that GAS is a mother. My doc sent me home on full liquids, was only on clear liquids the day after surgery. The only thing that pretty much sucks is that i have a drain coming out of my tummy

Really bothered by something a nurse said to me...
mfee08 replied to cinematic's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Screw her! She is very unprofessional! Wls is not cosmetic, its for health reasons. Being overweight is difficult and that B must have been skinny. Dont ever let anyone put u down like that, she has no idea what u have gone through to undergo wls. Ur making the right decision sweetie.. -

Day of Surgery stories
mfee08 replied to crazedteacher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok guys everything went well so far. In about 2 hours ill be drinking some liquid nd will have a scan to make sure there are no leaks. When you wake up after surgery, i think that was the worst pain but right there they give you meds and ur good to go. What i mean by worst is in general, basically its not that bad. Thank u all for ur support and prayers, it really does mean alot to me. Will update in a bit
