SuperFab 689 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) That pain from coughing can be nasty. That may be what caused my pain in my ribs. I originally thought it was trapped gas. I only worried about a possible clot after the calf pain started. I am not having a terrible recovery, however this is the toughest time I have bad recovering from an operation. This is the third time many of my incisions were used for a laparoscopic procedure and I had so much trouble waking up from anesthesia that its just been harder than I'm used to. Ok, I just got on and I almost freaked out reading what was going on. Seriously. Thank goodness you are all right. I was scared for you. You better take it easy and get all your fluids and I won't come kick your butt. Just keep swimming, Dory! Edited February 16, 2014 by SuperFab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You better take it easy and get all your fluids and I won't come kick your butt. Just keep swimming, Dory! I just went for a walk with hubs, baby, dogs and best friend. I'm hoping she will be following me in this journey so I invited her to walk with us. We walked a mile and I feel great. And since I had to go to the ER I took my Water with me so I am almost at my 64 oz of water. I feel much better now that I have had some rest and a walk. 2 Sarahjane79 and SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jencovi 261 Posted February 16, 2014 A mile?! That's awesome!! Yes. We have a gorgeous walking trail/bike path behind my parents house. I love taking Becca for walks there. When I'm feeling better I will be doing that every day! But for now I can't take her on my own. 1 SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynnc121 143 Posted February 16, 2014 I had my surgery on Monday 2/10. Everything is going great. I am not in pain and am able to get my liquids down. My only problem is the Vitamins and Calcium. I can't get them down without throwing up. I gave up on the calcium and just try to get one Vitamin in a day. I know these are important but I don't want to throw up. Anyone else have problems?

LindseyHeth 44 Posted February 16, 2014 Since starting my pre-op diet on Friday I've lost 6 lbs! I'm so excited! It's tough at times, especially at work, but I haven't cheated! Just 5 more days of super low calorie diet and 3 days of clear liquid diet then I get my new tiny stomach pouch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
