BandedBecks

Hi All So it is day 2 of post op surgery and boy, if someone would have told me I'd be in so much pain I may have reconsidered. I was hoping if you guys here could help out with any suggests or confidence that the pain I have now is normal. (Sore to sit up, barely take fluids without feeling tight in the chest area, feeling like I have intergestion. BandedBecks 23/1/17 Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App

I work quite long hours. I am now 8 days post op. I had thought i was okay to go back today, lasted 3 hours and my boss told me i shouldnt be there and he didnt want to see me until thursday. I agree that youre better off doing your shifts but if you feel you cant last the day then head home Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for sharing your experience

Morning :-) I am feeling so much better today than in past days. I over did it yesterday though and tested my will power. The bf had his tribe of mates over for a bbq lunch. In which I made all the salads for and didnt snack out once on any of it. Then had a bbq tea at his aunts, which I also survived. I took a bowel of soup, as thats all im eating at the moment. I think I am starting to realise it is definately all about being prepared and not putting yourself in situations where you are left feeling forced to eating back to bad habbits. Oh no not coffee :-o ive read that coffee is hard to stomach at the begining. Luckily Im not a big coffee fan so its not as big of a deal for me. How are you today?

Hi @@danaymacklin what app are you using? Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App

Failure :-/ that doesnt sound promising lol Im hoping to loose 35kgs about 80 pounds. I went for it as it was the most reversable option if it didnt work out :-) How was your day today? X Sent from my SM-N920I using the BariatricPal App

It will take a few months for a deficiency to develop. I had a LAP bad on the 23rd Jan. As part of my own plan Ive decided I will go ask the doctor to do monthly bloods for the first 6 months to ensure this. Also a deficiency can lead to hair loss etc...

Im now day 4 post op and the pain of eating is putting me off. In past when loosing weight it is all about will power, and practising will power. Telling yourself no and having the mental strength. It is definately a muscle you have to continue to work out. There are a lot of youtube clips about practising will power and how to increase this. Hope this helps in some way.
