Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I didn't sleep at all the night before surgery!

Neither did I. I couldn't. Not a wink. Then I had a 3 hr drive to the hospital.

Ok! First morning post-op! I feel great! No gas pain, gas in bowels or gas from surgery! I have tolerable pain in my abdomen with 5 lap sites. I've had no nausea, but I have Zofran ordered routinely so that has helped. I have walked the halls at least every 4 hours with no trouble. I hear that the pain is worse on days 2,3, & 4 post-op, but I am very optimistic! I wish everyone's recovery could go this well! I haven't passed gas yet, but I don't feel pressure or the need. I have a barium swallow scheduled with the surgeon this morning. Then I'll be allowed more Clear Liquids (not just ice). If I tolerate the liquids well, I'll be discharged this afternoon! No regrets here! Wishing luck to those going to surgery today!

Anyone having sleeping problems post op?

I should have cold here first. Yes. I am off pain meds and unable to sleep. Maybe 3 hours a night if I'm lucky. I'm also having the same issue with Protein and calorie intake. Less than 300 cals a day and around 50-60 pro. I feel terrible.

I'm here no and there's no going back :) my surgery was yesterday afternoon. Apparently it went very smooth, and ignoring the fact I feel like a mule kicked me in the gut I'm doing well.

15 days post opp. Exercising two days a week for an hour a day. Walking 1 1/4 mile three days a week. Have moved to soft food and only two shakes a day. I feel terrific. Weight is 257 down from 295 pre opp. Starting to wear clothes I haven't had on in years. Hope the next 15 days go as well as these have.

Hi everyone, I am Angie and I had my surgery 2/11. I was pretty miserable until like 6 days after it, getting rid of the gas was so hard. I have a question, everything I have makes me burp right away. I sip Water, Protein Shake, Soup and all is the same. Is this normal?? Also I lost 17lbs but nothing in the last 3 days and that freaks me out. I am so glad I found this app, thanks

Hi.

I has my 2/5 I lost 13 lbs and nothing in the last 3 days so you are not alone. Be encouraged the weight will come off in due time.
