tratra4u 9 Posted December 16, 2018 I am 6 day post, I am kinda scared because I feel like a million dollars. I have felt this way from day one. Am I in for a surprise? I have lost 19 lbs already and I am having no problems with anything. Been to the mall walking, even had my grandkids over night. I'm waiting for something to go wrong.Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 SimoneMonet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tratra4u 9 Posted December 16, 2018 Same here [emoji4] I had bypass on the 11th. I am waiting for something.....but everything is going well. I went to Sams to walk yesterday due to the rain. I am on full liquids and handling it very well. I can take a nice drink of Water without pain. My sugery was the 10th. I am ready to go back to work, I had was so worried about having surgery done I did not sleep for 2 days. Now I just laugh and think well that was easy. The hard part will be to keep the eating habits for life. Hard to when your husband has hollow legs and can eat anything. Best of luck to you keep me up dated you your recovary.[emoji2] Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app 2 Annefree and SimoneMonet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Clasik 141 Posted December 17, 2018 Likewise. I had my surgery on the 10th also and I feel I’m doing well. Have lost 17lbs, and I get all my liquids in. I stopped pain med on Wed evening and haven’t had any issues. Have little pains here and there but I’ve been going out and about since Thu. And like you I’m thinking, what’s going to go wrong. Good luck with it all!! 1 tratra4u reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myhorseisfattoo 387 Posted December 17, 2018 Well, my experience has been a little different. I'm 6 days post today. I had a complication in surgery which I think has made my soreness worse. Otherwise, I never had nausea or vomiting and was able to get fluids and Proteins in off the bat. Stopped pain meds 2 days post, but that twinge on the left it still ouchie. I've been pretty tired, but plan to go out to walk around the dreaded Walmart today because I need OUT!!! This morning I woke up with a bit of nausea and just kind of a crappy feeling. Hoping it passes. Have a feeling like something is sitting in the bottom of my esophagus. Overall I'm pretty pleased with my progress but I am glad I took an extra week off work. I think I need that adjustment time. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I need that adjustment time.I'm sure you will feel better soon, your body just went through a big change. I was told the more you move around the better recovary will be. The minute I got to my room after the recovary room I got up to go pee and had to get my own cloths on and walked aroud the floor of the hospital. Every time I woke up I walked a lap and added a lap each time. Went to Walmart on my way home. I have had the last 4 years of my life taken from me. I had a stroke. Meningitis, chronic lyme, Gilligan barrett syndrome. I was tired of not bei.g healthy i have 2 grandkids now and nothing is going to stop me from living life to the fullest. Kerp your head up and stay positive I'm sure i am going to have bumps in the road. But not like the past. Best of luck in you recovary.

Myhorseisfattoo 387 Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks! I was also the model patient, lapping every hour or more, doing all the stuff. Still am. Just having less of a great day today. Due to rain, my walking has been limited to the house, but looking forward to getting out today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
