Have not weighed since..will at post-op on Wed.

I still feel really sore and am taking pain meds. When did you all start to feel less sore and stop the pain meds?

I had my surgery on thursday the 31st and havent had any pain meds since Friday. I dont like the way they make me feel and its more discomfort than pain, so I skip the meds.

I am have had a low heart rate (36-60) since surgery and my doctors are trying to figure out why. So my exercise is limited. I had a bad kidney infection following surgery and they had a hard time clearing it so I had to be put on IV medicine. Constipation is a big pain in the butt (pun intended.. LOL). Getting down all of my liquids and Protein down is still really hard to do and I depend on my Zofran to not get sick still.

If I had it to do all over again... I 100% would even with my "speed bumps". My body is feeling so much better in my back and joints. My spirit is so much happier and I constantly smile even on my bad days! I look forward to the new me.. the healthier me and reaching all my goals!

Well must say was a lil rougher then I expected, was advised it was due to the gas pains, I was walking as soon as I was sent to my room, walking is the key, I have had no problems getting my liquids down, first night home was rough, then everyday it gets easier, today I am good, still lil sore sometimes but besides that no complaints, I go back to doctors tomorrow

Thankfully I was only on armour thyroid... I'm still on that though and probably will be, as I've always had thyroid problems.

I had a REALLLLLY hard time the first week. Horrible head cravings, moodiness, despair, regret - it was a veritable rollercoaster of emotions. I went back to work after 1 week off and once I did, I got a little better. It gave me something to keep my head occupied. I'm losing around 1 lb/day, which is AWESOME. I know it won't be that way forever, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Per doctors orders, I'm still on full liquids. I have a nutrition class Weds and will then go on to pureed for 2 weeks, then finally soft diet in time for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to a tbsp of mashed potatoes.

I have a goal weight for myself of 150, because that puts me in a BMI in the normal range; however, I will be excited to just hit onederland. I don't think I was even 150 in high school... but if I can get there, that is uncharted territory!
