Then Tuesday night I had some sharp stabbing pain in my side. Woke up took my multi Vitamin and about threw up and then had blood in my poo. I called the doc and got seen. Turns out those Multi Vitamins need to be taken with something coating your stomach, I have a kidney stone and a hemorrhoid. People, people. Take the stool softeners, drink your Water. 🤦🏾♀️ Other than that I’ve been good. I’m no longer crying when I make the family’s food, (I might still lick their food😏). I haven’t had a moment to catch up on everyone’s messages but I hope y’all alright! stay hydrated friends Glad you’re good! Blessings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure it is different for everyone but have other people felt this way? Like right now i can pretty much do everything I did before the surgery. Im intentionally not lifting anything over 10 pounds but outside of that im still cleaning house and walking miles every day. Yesterday I did it twice. Anyone else have this happen? Not me. I’m hobbling, but I’m 69 years old. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question and I know a lot of people might judge so please only non judgmental answers … did anyone start smoking or vaping right after surgery? Not me, I’m a non-smoker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharonwg 110 Posted June 15, 2023 I was a smoker but have not smoked for years. I do remember enjoying it - really took the edge off of stressful situations sometimes. Be careful Maggie honey - I know just how addictive they can be but they can interfere with your recovery. You gave up once - you can do it again. Just one day at a time sweetie xx 1 Maggie rose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I went for post-op today and from last Wednesday til today, I have lost 16 pounds. But they are going to do a Barrium Swallow test to rule out leaking bc I’ve been having a high Heart Rate. We shall see. Heart rate like 115 and 121. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had them review all of my old visits because I always have a heart rate over 100. Mine was 115 after the surgery and the lowest it got was like 105. Hope it goes well for you.

I’m diabetic too! I haven’t stopped all diabetes shots but it isn’t as many. I guess my body is adjusting. BS this morning was 159–I had to give an insulin shot. It will work out eventually. Just want you to know It will take time. But I’m hopeful it goes away. That’s why I did it too! Good luck. It will go by fast! 1 HelenF41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
