7 hours post-op

[Bonbini 67]

I am recovering from my VSG surgery. It's been 7 hours I can't believe how good I feel!!

I made my self sick with worry leading up to today. I even cried on the way to the hospital

This morning. I am praising God for his incredible love and giving me this almost painless

Recovery!!! I'm praying the others that are having theirs done soon have a good experience

Also. Thank you everyone on this board for your support!!

That's the Vicodin talking, wait till that wears off

I'm kidding, but seriously, keep moving. I will hurt like heck but it will help you recover that much faster.

Congrats on having such an easy surgery. I was very uncomfortable from the gas after surgery, but it never hurt me to walk. I was mainly felt weakness. But like they say, get up and walk. It will help you in the long run.

i agree with walking as much as possible! helps with the shoulder referred pain but MORE IMPORTANT, decreases risk for blood clots in legs and lungs.

so happy for you!

I am post surgery 5 days today and I have to say I have been shocked at how easy my recovery has been. The first day or two I was very fatigued but since then all has been good. I have not had any problems with gas, burping, diarrhea, or throwing up. I have been shocked the small amounts I eat and how long it takes me to eat it. My energy level is getting better each day. In fact yesterday I didn't even need a nap. My biggest challenges have been bad breath and not gulping down Water. Added bonus not tempted by any food and I've lost 12 pounds since surgery. Keep positive everyone! I was so worried pre surgery that I would regret this but honestly I only see good in my future!

It's hard not to get caught up in numbers. Honestly a month from now we could be at the same weight loss, bodies do what they do. I have been drinking the costco premier Protein shakes 30 grams of Protein, 1 gram of sugar and low in fat. I drink 1/3 cup x 6 times a day. Here's the 2 week full Fluid diet they gave me1/4 cup plain oatmeal with skim milk and add scoop of Protein powder, 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (Greek), 1/3 cup of shakeSnack - protein shakeLunch- 1/4 cup strained low fat Soup, 1/4 cup of apple sauce add Protein Powder, protein shakeSnack - protein shakeDinner - 1/4 cottage cheese add protein powder1/4 yogurt, 1/3 protein drinkSnack - protein shakeSo I eat most of this. I might miss a scoop or so of protein powder. I take an hour to eat a meal. Never hungry. Never tempted. Water has been hard for me not to gulp down so I have decided to freeze water as Popsicles. There's all my secrets. Hang it there...it will all come together!
