kw2walker 211 Posted July 31, 2013 Oh and my post op is this Friday which is 9 days post op Hey cmt7831, how are things? I had my first post-op office visit and I'm doing well. I got to advance to the full liquid stage so excited. I ran and purchased yogurt. Those three teaspoons tasted so good going down! I'm down 19 lbs from least office visit to present visit, with a total loss of 43 lbs from my highest weight to current weight. My cheeks hurt from smiling. 2 megancd and fh61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally love my heating pad. I found when I had gas and felt it in my back 30-60 mins on the heating pad and it was tooting later lol. I got cleared to walk also, going to visit the track once the summer program is over at the track. I live on the third floor so steps were a restriction. Keep up the great work you are doing.

karenl 6 Posted July 31, 2013 I am hopefully going to be late July' date=' early August. It will depend on speed of (hopeful) approval and when they can fit me in I suppose. My best friend works for the surgeon and said that surgeries are usually scheduled two weeks out after approval.... Besides approval, my next big thing to work with is my school schedule. I am in nursing school and we go year round. I have a class with clinicals that ends July 23rd and I don't have another class that requires that kind of physical exertion until mid September. So I have about a 7 week window. We shall see....[/quote'] Yay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patti K 98 Posted August 4, 2013 I like Atkins chocolate. I am now 4 days post-op and doing well at home. Not missing food although it does still smell good to me (I have read that some people get sick from the smell). The only thing that hurts me going down is the acid-reducer. I am in pain for about 5-10 minutes from that. Water, cold and hot liquids, and shakes all go down fine. I am excited to see what I am losing (surgeon asked me to wait until post-op 2 week appt) and cannot wait for the incisions to be less painful (only the one hurts...had to be an inch longer in the inside due to my mega large liver and extra accessory spleen! I have like 1.5 spleens...weird). Lol 1 ChaoticBliss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
