What is the weirdest thing you have experienced POST OP?



Recommended Posts

After an episode of the foamies, I felt better and sat down to talk with friends. All of a sudden, a mouthful of foam came up (mid sentence). It was weird, it was embarrassing, and I'm glad it has NOT happened again.

No weird dreams. My skin has never been softer. Then again, I have been using the bio-oil almost daily (which I HIGHLY recommend. It's great stuff). I'm losing a little extra hair these days, but not enough to be concerned about.

hair is growing like crazy. Not hair on top of my head...but everywhere else. I have PCOS so I think it’s my hormones going bonkers but I am literally plucking my eyebrows every other day versus the every 3-4 days I was use to. Armpits, legs and even facial (chin/upper lip) is coming in like a champ lol!

My wax lady was like, “wow you’re coming in more often now.” 😩

I had the dry skin but that went away after month 2 post op thank God. I have the weirdest food cravings. Toasted bread, pickles, shrimp with cocktail sauce... completely random.

I am in day five post up, also having very weird dreams. I have had absolutely no problems with post surgery other than dry skin, I only sleep about 3 hours and the sleep is full of odd dreams.

Trying on a size 6 to find it's too big.

Being shocked at my old pictures. I had no idea how big I was.

People calling me skinny or saying they're jealous of how thin I am.

Truly weird to me.

My skin was super super dry as well, but I use Bio Oil and I seriously cannot say enough about how it’s helped. It’s changed my skin for the better and I won’t use another product.

I was out at the tanning salon (incisions covered) and running normal errands by day 4 post-op. No surgical pain from the moment I woke up in recovery. Only needed pain meds because surgical positioning tweaked an old back injury.
Oh, gosh...just realized that sounded like I was trying to one-up you.  Not my intention!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
