Estimated post-op weight loss chart
cat.jackson89 replied to Talaria's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started at 238, I'm 8 days post op, and am now 201.5... Everybody is different. I can't wait to break under 200! I haven't weighed less than 200 pounds in 2 years! -
I'm 7 days post op, and it hurts so bad to laugh.. [emoji19] I've tried holding a pillow into my abdomen where it hurts, and it helps a little. Does anyone else experience this?
-
I love Starbucks Frappuccinos [emoji852]

Oh nooooo .. I have three toddlers, I need caffeine!! And isn't puréed food a different phase than liquid? Or you really liquified it ?
-
After 1 week post op, has anyone graduated to full liquids? Does that include any soup, or milkshakes or shaved ice? Please help!
-
Milkshakes, other soups

Awesome! Thank you! The RN in the hospital told me liquids, and I was hungry today.. I ended up choosing fat free vegetable broth -
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

Well no coffee for me I guess [emoji30] chalk it up as one of the many sacrifices we make to get healthy [emoji51]

Why the Hiccups ?!
cat.jackson89 replied to yami17leth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 7 days post op & I get hiccups too when I drink! It is painful and I have to push a pillow into my right side to ease the pain. -
So much gas pain!

I'm in Jefferson Hills! I'm feeling so much better today.. I was able to get out of the house, and I enjoyed it so much. No troubles as of yet- I lost 18 pounds so far, today being Day 5 post op, so that is motivation enough to keep pushing!! It's great to meet someone so close to home [emoji4] Good luck to you! Your date is almost here! -
So much gas pain!
cat.jackson89 replied to Kimberlyv715's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had gas pain so bad I couldn't breathe! The RN told me walking helps rid of it.. But I was in so much pain, I couldn't walk enough. I used heating pads, and learned that drinking diluted apple juice helps the gas pass freely! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] -
GasX- I'll have to try that! The gas is the worst part!!!

You look fantastic! -
I also wondered if it could possibly be my "new stomach" adjusting, or gas. Because I definitely feel a rumbling.

Can someone explain to me what NSV means, please? -
Any surgery pals this week?
cat.jackson89 replied to annamal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today was really a turning point for me. I started feeling like a person again! I folded laundry, I did some light housework, with minimal pain medication. Yesterday, I didn't know how I was going to make it.. But today really gave me hope for the next few weeks! [emoji846] -
I'm 4 days post op- and I can feel as well as HEAR my stomach growling. Even after I drink broth! I try to ignore it because I know it'll be worth it& as long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, I'll be fine. [emoji4]

I got mine on April 18! I'm also 5'6", 223 pounds. Good luck to you! So exciting! -
No Motrin! Liquid Tylenol, you can have. Let me tell you.. I've birthed two babies naturally, no medication, and 2 with an epidural. You're going to want the medication. I don't like narcotics, either.. But it really does help so much. But if you're that much against the pain medication, you can always use liquid Tylenol. I tried that as well, but to no avail.
