2 Days Post Op I Can't Believe It! It is Finally Real To Me!



Recommended Posts

Wow, I want to pinch myself sometimes. I cant believe I did it. What a journey I have been on and its only just begun. I am recovering nicely but starting to become more uncomfortable today. More than yesterday. Trying to get up and move every few hours and stay super hydrated. Thats what I have been told to do.... This crushing up pills is the worst though. I will have to find out how long I have to crush these. I suppose every doctor and pill is different right? Hey I would love to do a weight loss ticker. Where and how do I do that? Any suggestions?

:eek::thumbup:

It's pretty easy to set up a weight loss ticker at Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy.... That's where I got the one I use on my blog :eek:

So glad you're doing well after your surgery. I was lucky, my doctor gave me a prescription for liquid Lortab to take so I didn't have to deal with the bitter taste of crushed pills! I still have over half of my bottle almost six months later--Tylenol curbed the pain enough after the first few days that I didn't need the narcotic anymore.

My surgeon's office says pills are acceptable if they're no larger than a baby aspirin. I still use Advil's liquid gellcaps and have no problems (I did check with him before I used Advil, he said it was okay).

I wish you a speedy recovery!

      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.
