3 days Post Op Observations



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I slept in my own pajamas, in my own bed last night, with my puppy sleeping on the non sore part of my lap! Feeling much better than I was.

I think I've really lucked out so far, no vomiting, no dry heaves. The worst I've dealt with is the post op gas that's slowly dissipating through my body, and oddly enough it's given me a few accidents.

How are you guys all doing?

I'm four days post-op. I feel pretty good! From time to time, I feel a little tenderness in the port area. But, I really can't complain about anything. I miss my puppies. I have two dogs that are currently in a kennel, 8 year old Huey and 2 year old Chica. I really want to bring them home now. But, Chica is very hyper and I'm afraid of her jumping. I'm trying to wait, at least until tomorrow or Monday. It's hard. It's so quiet here....

You will feel better and better each day! I am a little over 2 weeks post op and I am feeling back to normal. Port site isn't sore anymore...gas went away.....and eating "mushy food".

I am so glad you all are feeling good!

I was banded Thursday morning (2/21) and I am already feeling 100% better. Still really have no desire to eat at all. I have eaten twice, sugar-free pudding with a few spoons of Protein powder mixed in. Other than that it has been Water or apple juice. I am thinking today I will have some broth & maybe some Protein pudding again.

I could not sleep at all Thursday night from the pain & discomfort. Did take a nice walk yesterday & last night I slept great. I am ready to get out of the house today.

I had a lot of trouble sleeping while I was in the hospital, just couldn't get comfortable. All the body gas would just sneak up on me lol but walking helped with that a lot

I was banded on Thursday and feel much better this morning than yesterday. I also slept much better last night! I washed myself up this morning and I get to shower tomorrow, looking forward to that! I am so ready for these gas pains to work their way through me as they are the only thing causing me discomfort. I have been walking lots and stretching, so hopefully soon! I am glad everyone is doing well!

I plan to pick up Huey and Chica tomorrow. I know Huey will be gentle. I'm hoping Chica will follow his lead.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
