1 Week Post-Op Today!



Recommended Posts

Well it's been a week and I feel great. Lost a little too much weight this week but with all the meds I was not feeling like eating. I am slowly adding calories and Protein back in and getting all my fluids. Still experiencing a little pain on my left side from the gas but it's bearable. The only other pain. I have is the large incision and port pain but I know that will go away. I am just so happy now!!

Congrats! I will be one week out on Thursday. I feel pretty much the same - the soreness has subsided but I still have a nasty gas pain in my left shoulder that it just not letting up. I was convinced yesterday I had a blod clot, so my doc made me to go the hospital and do a CT scan. It was fine, thank god, but man, this gas pain is no joke!

This is such an exciting time! I've been through so many emotions - from excitement to feeling like I made mistake (at my hungriest moments). I stepped on the scale today and I've lost 11 lbs since surgery which is insane. I know it's Water weight mostly but wow! I know this isn't a time to focus on losing but I feel so happy because I've been doing everything the way I'm supposed to and it's working. Yay!

I too have lost 11 pounds since surgery. I couldn't believe it!!

And the worrying about the blood clots; I know that feeling as well. On Saturday I noticed my left thigh was numb/tingling so I called my doctor. He told me to keep and eye on it, but thought it was a pinched nerve. Sunday the numb/tingling feeling was gone. Now it only bothers me when I'm laying down for bed. I get somewhat of a burning feeling; which is another symptom of a pinched nerve. I am thinking from the positions I've been in bed and when I was in the recliner right after surgery is what did it. Just gotta deal with it.

you should be tsking gasx snd s laxitive with your BM the gss will leave and psin will easy a lot.

it ill tske a few weeks to get to a normal now is a time to rest nd heal and then set you eating plan. empty you house of foods that will tempt you and fill it with pre-made protient drinks ( they tasted better then power) and food you can and will eat. I started out with home made veggie Soups and added differsnt mest each time. I thicken the broth or sometime i drain it and drink it later. I lost 18 lbs in 7 weeks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
