More difficulty in the evening?
youj13 replied to NicoleSW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I go grocery shopping I can't go down the baking aisle (can't stand the smell of sugar or the spices) or the Mexican aisle.. The smell of the soft tortillas is SOO strong! I feel like after surg ur sense of smell is heightened! -

I am the exact say way.. Feel great all day!! Evening comes around BAM feel like crap! Dry heave or even puke sometimes! Not eating anything different then during the day! And if I even think about food I want to hurl! Makes no sense -

I feel great during the day! Just night time before bed I get horrible stomach pains.. I'm not sure if I'm just eating too fast or what but it's like clockwork! One week out and just over 18 pounds down!! Seems crazy to look at the scale and see numbers I haven't seen in ages!!! So glad we are all in this together! I've had a few bm's never a big amount and always very dark. I pee all the time tho!! Lol -

I also had my surgery on Tuesday the 28th of October! 28 yrs old 283 pounds pre surg. I'm finding that Im having more pain at home then I was in the hospital and I even stayed an extra night due to a severe allergic reaction to a pain med! I find that even consuming Water hurts my stomach but yet I can cough and move without any pain.. Anyone else similar ? -

Did they give u guys a tentative surgery date? Like my stuff will be all done (appts etc) mid October and I'm tentative for oct 27 mind u that could change because of insurance or some unforeseen thing but Atleast it gives me something to go off of! -

Question!! So how much time does everyone plan to take off from work and what kind of work do you do?! I seem to be getting resistance becuz of the type of surg. But when I had Ivf or we are pregnant everyone is so nice to lend a helping hand but becuz this is "elective" I need to be able to carry deadweight.. FYI I work as an xray tech at a hospital. -
