Ok guys ... I got my surgery nov 16 at 11am weighing 254 pounds ... surgery was so easy for me like I literally was asking the nurses if everything was okay because People talk about the first couple of days being the worst pain ... but I barely has anything except nausea !! Okay so to start of at my pre op the doctor was actually really cool it was only the second time I've seen him in almost a year which is bad .. he explained everything to my mom and boyfriend since I'm with them most of the time .. which was exactly a week before my surgery he did not put me on a liquid diet for the week he just required a low fat diet and a liquid diet from noon till 12 pm the night before surgery .. again I was surprised! I actually was not nervous at all, I just wanted to get it over with just how I feel with college lol !!! Day of surgery I was actually a little scared seeing how I was giving up all these foods I love for a long time ... the staff was really cool , everyone was saying I was too young for the surgery ! they were ready by 11 , I went under and it was really scary waking up just because you're continuously in and out .. there was actually a nurse I wanted to talk to for the longest but just couldn't ! I finally woke up and it was a while before my dad and boyfriend came in .. i told them to go home because I didn't feel like they needed to be there just waiting on me .. I finally got a my room after that and I did not feel any pain at all ! Just my largest incision where they took my stomach out from .. my wounds are sealed by a special glue. I did not experience gas pains nor shoulder pain. They kept asking me if I wanted pain killers but I kept saying no ... I threw up like maybe 3 times it was black liquid .. also it was very weird to use the restroom because I couldn't wipe myself due to the pain so my mom or boyfriend would. They kept coming in and checking my vitals , sugar , and changing my iv fluid ... I didn't get an X-ray until the next day to See if I had any leaks with special liquid I did not receive any food or ice or anything until maybe 4 pm and it was all gross !!! I just ate the popsicle and jello. I did not get any hunger either. I'm currently 4 days post op I'm not able to take any viatimins till after my 2 weeks ... I've been drinking liquid but I can tell somethIngs off in my body it's light I feel like after u suck at helium out of a balloon and then u feel light headed except I feel like this all the time.. I don't get hungry and I've gotten used to liquids .. is hard to see people eating because then I want some lol anyway I lost 9 pounds 4 days post op .. also I haven't felt the regret stage yet like not at all but I feel like dropping 9 pounds is not worth feeling like you're on helium lmfao but we will see how this goes !!! I'm also not looking forward to loosing my hair or sagging skIn ... I've walked everyday so far too ! Ask questions !
