Alright so Friday I was discharged. But I was in an incredible amount of pain. Too much to sleep or eat. My temperature kept escalating. So Sunday things got really bad. I went to the er with a 103.6 temperature. Turns out I have an infection underneath one of my incisions. It's being treated. They're packing the wound which is the worst experience I've been through. Idk how long I can do this packing thing. Please keep me in your prayers

Wow. So after weeks of crrraaaaviiing sushi... 3 days before surgery...I had some. And it was good. And I felt satisfied. Satisfied...with a side of guilt. Monday (day before surgery) I have to eat according to the list of things I was given at hospital which will eventually end in clear liquid dinner. Any tips?

Did anybody experience visible swelling on their stomach after surgery. I just had mine on Tuesday the 13. Got discharged on Friday. And I have a bit of swelling on my stomach around on of my incisions. and it's a little numb. Is that normal?

yes I'm taking some oxy. It's helping some.

Hey there! I just had mine on Tuesday and I just came home yesterday. How are you feeling? I'm having period pain to where like even going for a walk is difficult. Are you going through such periods

I've loved being here, but I have to go back home and become responsible for myself so I'm getting ready to be discharged. I'm so sleepy with all the pain meds. But I'm so happy I've done this. Can't wait for results

Day two. I feel much better today. I'm just slept a lot. Plus I'm walking and doing breathing. I'm enjoying my stay here lol

Pretty calm to begin with. Then I started signing papers. Shhh just got really really real

Thank you all so much. Just don't some walking. In a little pain but I'm ok so far

I am only hours away my surgery date. I'm a bit hungry because I'm so nervous that I've been avoiding food since breakfast. I had toast with jam and peanut butter and apple juice for breakfast it was a late breakfast so I was okay with not eating lunch. Around 5 p.m. I was literally holding my stomach from hunger pain. so I had a yogurt I felt ok after that but I decided that it was almost dinner time so I filled 2 bottles with a little Apple juice with lots of ice cubes and water. And I've been sipping on that. I'm hungry but this is the most self control I've ever experienced. I'm just thankful our kitchen is downstairs. I'm just hours away from my dream come true. I'll probably be going to bed soon cuz I feel like crying my family is eating dinner. They're eating well too. And I can't have they. So I'm about to turn in... pray for me lol.

Ok. So far I've been reading about ppl going on a two week liquid diet prior to their surgery date as a requirement. Now is this for everybody? Or is this just for this who have some trouble with their liver? I live in Indiana and I go to st. Vincent bariatric center in Carmel. I've never heard of that. Never gOt those instructions. Never even heard of it even at my support groups. Now my surgery is on Tuesday January 13. Only two days away. And I have a specific diet to follow on Monday. I had to lose at least 30lbs in order to be considered for surgery which I've done. So hearing about these two week liquid diets has me freaked out. I feel a bit clueless cause they never told me. Anybody not have to do that ?

Alrighty thank you!

All I can say is support group support group support group. They help A LOT. Believe me darling. You'll be ok

They didn't tell me to go on a two week liquid diet. When I went and had my labs done they said everything was normal so I'm thankful that! I'm just hoping I'm for the best next week

Oh wow good luck. Mines only in the days I could pee myself I'm so exited.

And you know what that's one thing I learned during this journey I learned that it is okay to ask for help

Omg God bless your journey!

Oh wow! That's awesome. I can't wait for next week. I'm so ready. I'm kind of happy I have a bit of a break before going back to school

May I ask what kind of surgery you had

Oh wow! A two week liquid diet??? At my nutrition class they only gave us a list of things to eat the day before surgery. Why did you need a two week liquid diet

Ugh I can't wait. This is something that I truly feel is a big blessing. I go to support groups and they're all awesome ppl!

Omg. NOthing pisses more than such ignorance
