Hang in there i had mine a week ago & it gets better it really does. I was so nauseous and had so much gas pain in my chest it felt like a heart attack. But i am now getting around just fine and have zero pain! Just remember why you did it and it will get you through :)

I did to! I was cussing at the nurse and regretting it but once that pain went away i started to realize i could get through it! If your still in the hospital, definatly take them up on the pain meds! Mine offered to give me stronger ones to which were nice cause they just knocked me out for a bit!

I was super nauseous too after surgery and the nausea meds they put in my IV didn't help. The first night was really bad and one of my nurses stayed with me and did breathing techniques to get me through until I could fall asleep. Try some deep breathing! It will get better!

In a week you'll feel pretty much normal, maybe with a tiny bit of soreness but not bad. Just give it time, take it day by day, and do your best to get your Water and Protein in. Both are critical to the healing process, and you'll heal a lot faster and better if you get enough.

Day 2 was the worst for me. I had so much gas pain but by day 4 I was back to normal driving to the grocery store and walking very fast. I was able to sleep on my stomach by day 6 and today I'm like 'What surgery'? Lol I feel completely back to my old self. I was 303 on 10.14 (date of surgery) & as of today I'm 285.6

The pain is temporary! Stay strong

      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!!
