1 week post-op
Feb 17, 2010
So its been a week since my surgery and I feel good. I get tired and weak really quickly while I'm walking around but over all I'm doing really well.The first 2 days were the worst. I was soooo uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep. Instead of having the gas pain in my shoulders like most people experienced ( I did too but very very little in my right shoulder) the gas traveled up my spine, which made sleep nearly impossible.
Not to be gross, but i didn't pass gas until the 3erd or 4th day. I experienced some nausea the first day, when i tried to sit up but I haven't since. I noticed i do get slightly nauseous when I'm hungry, but it fades quickly. Thank god.
I have 1 more week of fluids only, I am absolutely sick of broth, but who wouldn't be. I can't wait until this week is over. On the bright-side I'm not hungry. The only time I do get hungry is when I smell food cooking. Thankfully I'm able to tolerate it enough to not let it get to me. I just keep drinking and focus on other things.
I started at 248lbs... the day before my Surgery I was 245... today was my 1 week post-op weigh in and I am 233. That's a 15lbs loss!!! YAY My next appointment is 2wks from today at 9am.
I know its only been a week but I'm going to go to work tomorrow morning. Just for a half day to catch up on some work. The doctor said most people get tired and find work very difficult. So they stay home and nap. I've been home for a week and not once took a nap. I walk around, watch TV, drink but no sleep until its bed time. I really feel I will be well enough to go back. Again Thank God I have a desk job LoL
