Hi all! Now, I already have contacted the nurses about this, but it is early so idk when I will.hear back from them. But here's the problem

Earlier this week I had a bit of a cold. I took some nyquil and it went away. Then on Tuesday I was cleared for the stage 4 diet. (Yay) and all was well. Then fast forward to Thursday morning and I woke up with reallt bad jaw pain. It got worse through the day. My head also started pounding, like a mirgiane. My ears feel hot. And I have like a metallic taste in my mouth as well. My mother thinks the jaw pain could be from chewing again after a month not being able to, which I can see, but I don't understand why basically my whole face hurts too then.

Did anyone else have jaw pain when they moved onto soft foods? I think i just might be getting sick and its a combination of that and eating again. Please let me know.

I am also a month post opt. I moved through the stages a bit quicker then most do, my stomach has handled everything fine though. I also have been taking my Vitamins and all. I just don't know what's gojng on and I'd like to see if anyone else experienced the same problems. Thanks!

Tooth, ear ache or sinus problems. I would agree with your assessment you may be getting a cold; however, wait for the nurse to call you back. Clearly, anything we provide is going to be speculative.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
