May 24 Surgery Day

[macdonaldkelly 33]

Well girls I am back in hospital....came into ER yesterday...I can not poop..... worst then having a baby. I won't go into details but after 12 hours in ER I was admitted.

I don't have any regrets...We've all had a little issue here or there....this is how my body handles pain meds.

I can't wait to get my nectar Protein and try it.

Good morning and happy 1 week anniversary! Hehe..

What are your weights for week 1?

HW - 253.6

SW - 231.8

CW - 225.4

TWL - 28.2 LBS

Since surgery, I've only lost 6.4 pounds but, I gained 3.2 right after surgery and I lost that too. So I really lost 9.6 pounds. Maybe I should change my surgery weight to 235 since that is what I weighed right after surgery.

What do you guys think!?

I would keep your surgery weight as is. The reason you gained is because of the swelling and all of the fluids they pump into you.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Anyone having upper left abdominal pain?

I only have pain on my left side now. My surgeon said that when they stapled me on that side, they got some muscle. They said it's perfectly normal. I hope it goes away once my staples are removed. I'm so tired of these staples that I'm actually searching stores that sell surgical staple removers. My incisions are perfectly healed. But my clothes moves the staples and then it becomes irritated at the staple holes.

Sorry... short rant of frustration...

Glad to hear it's not just me! I was getting worried!

[yescres07 91]

I don't have staples but from day one I always felt my left side was more bothersome than the right especially when I'm gassy

I don't have staples either. I'm still a little gassy also but no pain from it. I just wish my thoughts of food would go away. I can't wait till the soft food stage!!

Dang, that means it will still hurt after they are removed.

So lucky for me, I am not suffering from head cravings. Yey.. I am staying with my mom while I recover because I am single and live alone. She is just cooking up a storm. You know how it is when your mother cooks.. WOAH! I could eat her rice alone without anything. Fortunately for me, it's not bothering me in the least bit. I'm very lucky for that too.

I have to say that I have been very lucky during my recovery. Today is my first day without pain meds.

Keep your head up ladies, it will only get better now.
