In a lot of pain. Nausea and shoulder pain. I was supposed to be released today, but I'm still here because I can't drink anything without feeling sick. All prayers are appreciated.

Well, all normal so far. Trust me, it gets better. I only stayed one night... but would have stayed 2 if my hospital room would have had a comfortable chair to sit in. It took me a couple of days to get the gas out. Once that happens, things improve quickly.

Yes, the gas pains are incredibly painful. At least for me they were because I was inable to burp any of it out. Also, it doesn't feel like your typical gas pain. Had I not been told by my doctor that it was gas, I would have just thought I had severe stomach & chest pains. It WILL get better but I think we all understand that it kind of suck those first couple of days. Praying for you to feel better soon. :)

Thanks for the prayers. I'm still here 2 days later. I still will not be released yet. I can't drink without pain. Has anyone else has to stay this long?

I am out of surgery, but still in the hospital since Tuesday. I may be released tomorrow. My stomach still hurts when I try to drink anything.

I struggled with intake for a while. Even 8 weeks out, I still have some issues. I had to start on Nexium because the reflux was severe. But hopefully you will adjust soon. Praying you start to make a quick recovery.

I am kind of sad. All Protein stinks! I tried to use nectar unflavored in cream of wheat. I guess I shouldn't warm that stuff up. It started to look like cheese shavings. I couldn't really try it. I'm afraid I will get dehydrated because nothing tastes good!!! I can keep it down but it smells and tastes disgusting. Any suggestions? I'm so discouraged.

Yogurt might be okay for you. The only shake I could tolerate is the "body by vi" mix. You can find a rep or order it off Amazon. It doesn't have that strong Protein taste. If you like, you can put yogurt or Peanut Butter, etc. in it. I like it plain. Not too sweet. Make sure you are getting your fluids above all else. You don't want to get dehydrated.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
