What is the best type of wrap to use to make my wrap with?
-
So I had my gastric bypass on February 25th. The doctor found a 1 inch hernia on my diaphragm while inside that he repaired. How it was missed before hand, I don't know. I had 2 EGD'S and an ultrasound of my gallbladder trying to discover the source of the excruciating acid reflux and stomach pain.
Anyhow, I was to be released the next day but that didnt happen. I was kept in for 4 days. My vitamin levels were low and the pain in my left shoulder was awful (due to gas and hernia). After leaving hospital, I went in Monday this week for infusion with 2 liters of fluids and today for 2 liters of iv fluids and steroids for inflammation. I'm concerned because I feel like I want to pass out a lot. I'm doing good at drinking my protein shakes and broth and my water, but I'm still showing that I'm dehydrated. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?
On the upside, I have lost 18 pounds! That makes me happy. I feel like I need to figure this out so I can get over this hump and really get to work on myself. If anyone has any suggestions I would really love some advice.

Weirdest things you are looking forward to after surgery
Pianogirl replied to Krestel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok the things I am most looking forward to after surgery: 1: Being able to bend down to tie my shoes and not feel like my breathing has been cut completely off and I'm about to pass out. 2. Being okay with my picture being taken. 3. Being able to climb that sand dune with my sister and not stop. 4. I'm looking forward to walking with my dog everywhere and be able to breathe. 5. Riding a bike again. 6. Wearing my hot high heels 👠 and dressing sexy again. 7. Working out with my husband in the gym. 8. Being healthy and happy with myself.
