Any April surgery buddies

I've been walking around the house and pacing around my bedroom and a little toot here and there but nothing much. What did work though..funny...I leaned my upper half on my body on the bed and stuck my booty in the air.....and it worked. I don't know why but it did.

Mine is going ok...I have a Wife and two boys. They are all skinny people who can always eat whatever they want! So being around them is kinda hard when they eat their meals. But my Wife has been very good at trying to keep food and smells away from me, so I’m not too tortured! HaHa!

The only thing Iv cheated with is Dill Pickles. But I asked my surgeon yesterday and he said Dill Pickles are fine! So I guess I’m not cheating. So every time I get a strong hunger I eat a pickle and it does the job for me.

My weight loss has been CRAZY!!! I was weighed in my doctors office last Monday and I weighed 475 lbs. I got weighed again yesterday in the same doctors office and weighed 439 lbs. Iv been drinking 4-5 Protein Shakes a day with two scoops of Protein. And Iv also been drinking a gallon of Water every day! But I still lift weights every day...So that’s probably the extra boost I’m getting in weight loss. Iv been so worried about losing muscle and strength after my surgery.

Mac that is weird I did the same thing! I figured I could eat a pickle and that was like cucumber ( which they said I was allowed) the strong taste as the took the cravings away and they are satisfyingly crunchy

I’m right here with you. I am resting today and trying to get my water in. I know I’m not getting enough in and felt lightheaded this morning. Take it easy!

My gas was on full blast last night, thank goodness. I purchased some 3 oz plastic cups versus just kind sipping out of the water bottle. Maybe its mental but that keeps sipping more. 6 day post surgery...am I the only one who is having pain issues near their incision site. Last night I couldn't get comfort. I must have turned the wrong way in my sleep...and I could have swore someone stabbed me in my tummy with a rusty and jagged butterknife😁

Awww man I hope you feel better! I’m only at 3 days and still sore but decided not to take the pain meds Cuz it’s makes me tooooo sleepy. Pain is okay long as I don’t move or lay on it. At least you’re almost through your first week. You should be feeling better in no time!!

I have some pain at the site too. I stopped the meds on day 3 as well. I also can feel my stomach and the little aches from it. Still very sore very tender. I try to just sleep on my back. I woke up a few times on my side. Maybe the that's why. Hope you are feel in ng better. I'm having a bad day first day driving and I guess sitting up so straight wasn't the best made my belly ache more actually actually felt it throbbing hope I'm not damaging it. Gotta remember it's only been 6 days. What a long long week

Alright now, take it easy. I can’t sleep on my back so I have been trying to sleep on the side opposite of my stomach. It’s too tender the other way. But I can’t drive until after cleared by doc at post op visit. So you be careful driving so soon!

Oh I definitely have incision pain. Your description I'd accurate. But it's only when I bend over or move. Lol. Seriously I know it will get better. Tylenol is helping. I am going to try your suggestion about the 3 oz plastic cups. I need to play a mental game with this water thing!
