:-) Just followed you! Maybe I should consider an Insta for just this journey. I'm pretty private about it so haven't posted anything but it might be nice to have a photo record. -

December 2017 Gastric Bypass!
SupernaturalWhovian replied to 823freckles's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had some struggles post-surgery and just got back to work on Jan. 29. (Surgery date Dec. 18.) Incisions and all were fine but I was so sick feeling I couldn't even force myself to eat or drink. I let it go on too long and made things worse. There were times, multiple, that I regretted doing this. (Oddly enough the week of surgery I felt good, so good I even thought I might go back to work early, or at least could. This all started happening in the weeks following!) They also found a diaphragmatic hernia during one of my urgent care visits post-op. My surgeon said I didn't have to worry about it because I'm a bypass patient. I don't know why that it is but waiting word back. BUT feeling much better now. I can eat and drink. Drinking enough is a constant struggle as it was before surgery. I worked at it then too but it is harder now given the limitations on the amounts at one time and having to wait before and after eating. Still while not getting while I need I'm usually getting enough to keep me from being horribly dehydrated. -

I went through a different program but didn’t get weighed at orientation. Perhaps the co-morbidities will be enough? Or can you postpone? -

I’m struggling so hard. I have no energy, no desire to consume anything. I feel like my liquids are just sitting in my chest. I nearly cried at how horrible I felt taking a shower this afternoon, even my cat was freaked out. (Haha he even waited to ask for his dinner) -

Imagine organic ramen broth (black box) is delicious for the full liquids phase. Way tastier than any other broth I’ve tried. -

It's definitely a struggle for to get the fluids and proteins in as well. I will tell you that when I do better at it (not even at goal!) I feel better. I'm using timers to help with my pacing. Plus them going off reminds me to start another cycle. -

Tuesday was a little rough. Not because of pain but I felt horrible. I'm sure it's because I'm not getting my fluids and protein in. I'm working to make this better and it seems to be working. Water intake/regulation was something I struggled with pre-op too. Otherwise, all is good. and on the bright side it seems to have helped quell some of the head hunger/cravings. I'm also trying some vitamin water zero to see if it helps with some little cramps I'm getting in my calves. I'm assuming that's a combo of low potassium and low water. I'm not completely dehydrated as I've been monitoring my urine output. Thanks for checking in! -

The best of luck on your journey, Candy. Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. (And Hemingway the cat is always happy for extra pets so he thanks you too!) -

Pretty good! Thanks for checking in. It hesitate to say that in case I jinx it. Lol. But I was up and about quite a bit today. I managed to drink a protein shake over the course of the day, eat my vitamins and calcium, drink some water, and even a little nibble of sf pudding. I’ve felt a little shoulder pain from the gas, though it was a lot worse with my gall bladder removal. I even took a shower which was heavenly. My incisions are a bit tender and I have to watch how I move or lay but no complaints, easily tolerable. My kitty has been ever watchful. :-) -
