3 days post op 49 yrs old & would like some friends



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post-op and find myself thinking CONSTANTLY about food/surgery/me! My grown daughter is home visiting and I worry about cooking for her. I get so annoyed with myself for worrying about those types of things. I need to take care of me. I've always taken care of everyone else and put myself last. Look where that got me! I'm quite sure that the people that are aware of our journey want us to take care of ourselves first. Guilt never got me anywhere....but self care will. I wish you the best with your W.L.S. You are most definitely worth it.

My recovery is going good & on track I suppose other than I started my period the day after surgery after not having one for over a year now I'm on day 3 of having it and doesn't seem to be getting any lighter?? Good grief if I don't have enough to deal with already!! Lol. Going to call drs office in morning to make sure this is normal. Other than that just sipping away at my fluids.

It's very normal - it's from all the hormones being released by burning fat. I got mine 3 days post-op too. It's heavier than usual - probably due to hormones and the blood thinners I am on (2 shots a day). Hang in there!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
