Post Op Day 9

[Ms.Vickie 68]

Still have gas. Tried to get through the day without a pain pill. NOPE...didn't work. My back is killing me. But I am thankful that I am better than last week. Cant wait to eat my boiled egg.

How's everyone else doing?

I'm on Day 7 post op. I'm still on full liquids. I'm doing well until I tried to take my Vitamins, I used a pill splitter so that they're in manageable chunks. Nope! Didn't help at all, I think I need to chew it first before swallowing. On the positive side, I lost 7 pounds since surgery just following directions my surgeon gave me.

Happy healing everyone!

I am on on day 10 and my Dr. still has not put me on Vitamins. I think I may start them week 3. I was actually looking forward to Protein shakes but I have not been approved to drink them yet. Just mashies. I noticed since I started eating them I am now loosing about a half of pound per day now. I knew it would slow down especially since I lost 17 lbs in a week. But at least I am healing. That's all that counts NOW. Lol

You will feel better soon just tackle it one day at a time. I thought of it as my chance to rest like a mini vacation (until the gas comes then I get defeated lol). I gave myself 4 weeks until I expect to feel like myself again. Maybe I'm fooling myself but I'll see when I get there.

I hope you feel better soon!

Wow 17 pounds!!!! That is amazing! I guess I'm one of the slow losers (sigh....story of my life). But I'm so happy for you and I'll watch your progress to gain inspiration that this can be done.

I re-read my surgeon's instructions and BIG oooopps, I wasn't supposed to be on my regular Vitamins yet. chewable or liquid vitamins only until I'm on solid foods. My alternative is a pill crusher how icky is that? I guess gummy vitamins it is, oh what sacrifice! Lol

Congrats on your 17 lbs weight loss! I'm day 9 post ops as well, I'm down 11 since surgery date. Way to go, and healing is the most important at this point

Awww thanks. Usually when it comes off fast in the beginning it slows down later.
