A little about me

[Puppydogeyes 8]

So I'm 31 years old and from Hamilton Ontario. My weight was 264 lbs prior to pre op diet. I lost 8-9 lbs during the Optifast Diet that I was on for just over 10 days. I have always been a bigger girl and struggled to lose weight. The process through the bariatric clinic was just over a year after completing all the appointment. I had surgery on 05/03/2016 making it 2 days post op. I had gastric bypass and hiatus hernia repair. Everything went well and there were no complications. I am going home today 05/05/2016! The first night after surgery was quite painful, and slightly scary. as I had needed to use the washroom and almost fainted. Thankfully the nurse was there to help me. The second day was much better and was able to tolerate small sips of Decaf coffee. Gas pain is the only complaint I can really make but walking the halls really helps. Sipping Water also helps. I wish good luck to everyone

Hello,

Congrats you did it!!! I am one month and one day from my surgery. I didn't,t have much pain but just drowsy after surgery as expected. I am now walking a little at least 4 days a week minimum about a mile. Just reminder Protein is essential gives you energy. I have learned that your brain has to catch up with your new pouch, it will tell you that you are hungry when your not. But your brain will catch up
