How are the days after surgery?
Nikkidoodlebug replied to cuchas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You might just have to tell her. I myself had a real hard recovery, so you might need to be careful and you most likely are going to be tired. Just take it easy and it will all work out in the end! Good luck! -

I can tell you have lost "some" weight?
Nikkidoodlebug replied to TEXASLADY52's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
The one comment I think is strange and somewhat funny is......"you look really good, I really like the way you've been looking". Well I guess they didn't like the way I looked before, lol!! -

I never told anyone what I did, what a shame! that was my sob slob story -

still feeling bloated
Nikkidoodlebug replied to galadriel535's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That was the worst part after surgery. After a little bit, it will get better. I took a laxative to help me. Good luck! -

Had my drain removed today
Nikkidoodlebug replied to MissMotivated's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
OMG!! I can totally relate! I also had a drain tube, it sucked! And when the doctor removed it it took him two pulls and the second pull, I almost came of the bed. Not everybody gets this pleasure but some do, and I'm glad it's over!! Good luck to All!!! -
Discouraged/Sad
Nikkidoodlebug replied to coleenrenee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my surgery march 11th. I went thru the same feelings you are, I'm sorry that they are not being discreet about there "habits" my honey was great and kept it all under wraps but the kids, not so much! Kids are kids they don't understand. Well I promise all of the bad feelings will soon pass, I still do get upset when I see someone eating a big juicy burger, because I can't even take one bite, but then I look at myself in the mirror and not having the burger is worth it! Well good luck and it will get better -

Post surgery gas pain!
Nikkidoodlebug replied to ArtSmartInNH's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@ArtSmartInNH the gas pains were the worst!! Just have some one beat on your back and it helps a lot at least for a little bit. It will get better. Good luck! -
@@mysleeve ok so I pray for you!! Just remember that everyday after surgery gets better day to day. If you are like most you will wonder what the hell you did to yourself but it will pass with the coming days! Make sure you ask for your pain Meds ahead of time! Have someone pound on your upper back and that will help with the gas pains! You will do great! Good luck! P.s. Listen to your doctor

I'm having that same feeling today!!! It sucks, so I just decided to do soft foods and liquid protein drinks today and tomorrow and see if maybe I can get something moving, I just don't know. So I know how you feel, Good luck

@@TWJ I had mine march 11th so it's still fresh for me also!! I felt the same way you do, I can only tell you to take one day at a time. Every night I went to sleep I would think to myself " one more day down" so the next day would get a little better, and everyday still gets better. I promise it does get better, I hated everyone around me and really hated that I had to be fat that I would even have to have surgery. Now I am getting back to normal, still a little sore only because I had a hernia repair also. We will be ok and very Happy in the end!! Good luck!

Coughing, is it different for you post op too?
Nikkidoodlebug replied to amazon's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes !!!!!! I have realized the same thing! I feel like my lungs are a little on the sore and weak side! I wonder why we feel that way??? -
so many questions?
Nikkidoodlebug replied to pampam12's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not have a revision, but I did get my sleeve done march 11, it is great! Yes you can eat too fast and have the stuck feeling, yes you can eat and vomit also! The thing is that you are not starving or so hungry that you want to "shove it in" at least not me. I no longer live to eat I now eat to live! My mother has the band and she struggles daily with it, she is still hungry, because of course they do not remove the hunger hormone when they do the band, but with the sleeve a lot of those hunger hormones are removed thus for you are not hungry all the time! I do feel full after just a few bites of food and I stop. I do not feel that my stomach feels any different, just that it's sore inside from surgery, I had mine sewn done inside because of other reasons so I am just a little sore. Just don't eat too big of bites and chew your food and stop when your new tummy tells you to and you will do great! Liquids liquids liquids and then soft liquids and then eggs, tuna, cottage cheese , yogurt, cheese, some moist chicken ground turkey meat, deli meats, plus every doctor is different!! Good luck
