One Month Post-Op And Doing Great, Except...

[kczar 166]

I was sleeved four weeks ago today and all things considered, I'm doing really well. I've lost 19 pounds and 12 inches! I've had no problem with any of the stages and am starting to add regular foods. Unfortunately, I was feeling so good that I moved some heavy boxes last Tuesday and hurt myself. Luckily, I didn't cause a hernia, just a lot of pain.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

ewwww dear - moving heavy boxes this early in the game, probably not the best idea

understand you hurt - probably ok/better now, right? if not, better keep your doc posted

glad you are doing well otherwise - 4 weeks post op, kiddo you have a lot to look forward too

good luck

I am so glad you are doing well.....however you body is still healing....and even if you feel like joggin 10 miles don't....so leave those boxes alone for a while...no heavy lifting is one of the things that should be on your release sheet. Check with your Dr. who knows your physical abilities better than we do...

You dont want to set yourself back....so please be careful..

Good luck in your journey.....we are fairly close together in time

Yeah, it was really stupid! But I was just feeling so great I didn't even think about it. I did go to the doctor today and he confirmed I don't have a hernia, it's just "tweaked it pretty bad", is how he put it, lol. My doctor was in surgery today so I saw his partner. He looked like he was 16!.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to get my pain scrip filled and not lift anything heavier than my purse for a while. And maybe not my purse. That thing is heavy!
