Very positive post surgery experience 8 days out

[hamitchell 15]

After the initial confusion over a normal drainage tube issue, i feel pretty good. No real pain, able to walk normally, easy to take fluids with Protein. No gastritis even though I had gastritis pre-op. Just tiredness, so I rest between spurts of getting up and talking with house hosts, reading, some remote work with laptop.

I don't really have much hunger either, although I definitely get hungry after 10 days total on just fluids. I sm a little grouchier, but not a miserable mad dog like i imagined I'd be. No headaches or food withdrawals. Seeing the quick weight loss keeps you motivated.

All in all a lack of drama after the scarey surgery aspect. I am thinking that more people than not probably experience the same but you tend to see the harder cases on the forum?

I have lost 16 lbs post surgery. Was on victoza for most of two years prior ehen weighed 268, to explain my stats.

Hi. I am on victoza. They say it simulates the experience of having a weight loss surgery. Is it true?

[hamitchell 15]

It is a bit different. I remember first going on victoza i didnt want any food, whereas with surgery i still do but not nestly ss much. I was nauseas on victoza, then developed pretty bad gastritis due to delayed emptying victoza causes; eventually the drug lost its potency for me wnd i got hungry and couldnt lose weight.

My rndo thought it a good first try prior to pulling trigger on sleeve surgery.

Sorry for the iphone typo's and other mis-spellings.

Thanks for your answer! I had the same. First I didn't want any food, but now it just doesn't work anymore... It's bad, all medicines doesn't work anymore after a while... That's why I think I go for the surgery.

I think you can chest this surgery with liquidy sugary stuff, but. Dont really like sugary things that much, and i am self pay, and motivated with new found weightloss.

I have s friend eho gained s lot after 2 years by loading up on frappochinos and not excercising. I dont see myself doing that. I run occassional 5k races now. Went couch to 5k with a group who are lots of fun.
