mmrennau 58 Posted July 7, 2015 Thank you guys I went in this morning so far everything is going good. I can't believe I am over on the post op side of things now. I was so nervous this morning I was seriously thinking about bolting out the door 30 min before surgery lol I woke up with some pain (gas) and the nurses quickly took care of that problem. Been super tired all day. I walked twice so far but each time I feel extreme burst of nausea which I believe is coming from my medication so I'm going to try and see how I feel without pushing that little medication button thing so I can walk more. I been eating my ice chips (stage 1) 1 oz of tiny ice chips per hour. All the nurses were complimenting what a nice job my surgeon did on my tummy looks small I guess? - I won't look yet!!! Lol Drifting off to sleep again I'll update more in the morning. Thank you guys for all your support you have no idea how much it means to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nervous nana 98 Posted July 7, 2015 So glad you are on your way to healing and losing. I pray you continue to improve each and every day. It's these kinds of post that give the scared ones (like myself) the courage to press on. Looking forward to following your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmrennau 58 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) My last post "tummy looks small" was supposed to be nice incisions LOL ...drugs .... what can I say? My tummy actually looked like I was 6 months pregnant again and hard.. full of gas they kept saying it will pass soon soon it will pass ...4 days until i finally started getting rid of that gas wow!!! ( TMI - sorry) Now I am at home doing so much better.. it was difficult getting fluids in at first I know logically that it wasn't going to be forever but still emotionally it felt like it was. today I hit my protien target 60g and I drank 2 bottles of Water plus ONE of my Vitamins ..ha its a start! Getting better every day. Today I even walked down the street and back with my daughter. I know we aren't supposed to weigh in this early but curiosity got the best of me and I am down 5 lbs. Nice.... Follow up on Tuesday. Edited July 11, 2015 by mmrennau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiceyfrog 269 Posted July 12, 2015 @@mmrennau, what are you drinking for Protein? I am one month post and struggle every single day! Honestly, I don't think I have hit my protein goal once. I have hit Fluid a couple times, but not consistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
