Thanks. The depression right now is just thru the roof. I've pretty much been sick since my surgery on 6/6 and the recovery from the second surgery on 7/1 has been slower than slow. I've only lost like 18-20 lbs. I can hardly eat. Nothing tastes right. I'm always exhausted. I've had awful pain. Dizzy which I'm sure is from not eating. The Protein shakes are turning my stomach. I've already missed two weeks worth of work I haven't planned on and I'm financially drained and have no help. I've cried every day and I don't want to do anything but sleep. It's no wonder. I failed at every attempt my entire life to get my weight under control and it seems like this is just going to be another failure.

The taste of the roxicet is making me gag even with the zofran. Just revisited my Greek yogurt strawberry smoothie as soon as the roxicet hit my throat. All over my shirt, glasses, toilet, bathroom rug, ugh.

I want to be comfortable being me. I want the outside to finally match how I feel inside. I want to quit taking a billion medications every day. I want to look, act and feel my age instead of being an old person stuck inside a young person.

Back on liquids and puréed after complications. Had some Campbell's healthy request cheddar cheese condensed soup. Whizzed it in the food processor with a tiny bit of salsa and some shredded Mexican cheese. -
Went to the ER. Blood work and X-rays normal. Discharged after some dilaudid and IV fluids. Given a prescription for zofran so I can tolerate the pain meds.

I'm really wondering if any part of this was the right decision. I'm still in so much pain. My surgeons office is closed til Monday. I called my pcp but they won't do anything without the surgeon. Why'd I have to be the worst case he's seen in 14 years? I wouldn't wish this on everyone. I'm so full of regret right now.

This pain really is just awful. It isn't the soreness I had with the first surgery. All of this pain is inside. Moving, breathing deeply, getting up and down from sitting or laying - it's all excruciating. Because my case wasn't normal my doctor has nothing to compare it to. I don't want anything but ice water. Nothing else tastes right. Tried protein and it turned my stomach. I could only stand up long enough in the shower to wash my hair and my face. Bummer because long hot showers were my savior after my first surgery.

My mom is on my case to try to go to work today so I don't lose the holiday pay. Trust me. I don't want to lose double time a d a half - but the pain is unbearable. The roxicet has started making me nauseated so I have only been taking it at night and I'm trying extra strength Tylenol to get thru the day. I guess I'll be putting a call in to the doctor again tomorrow about pain management. This is awful.

I am in terrible pain but finally able to drink normally which I hadn't been able to since my bypass surgery. Just got off the phone with my surgeon. Said the pain is going to be much worse when they have to go in a second time, and that what I had going on certainly wasn't normal. He said as long as I can keep things down and don't have a fever or anything to just take the pain medicine every three hours instead of four, and that he will check on me again in a few days and are if I need something stronger. I have so much buyers remorse with this whole decision to have surgery right now. I can't stop crying.

Guys. I have never been in pain like this in my life. Apparently I had one of the worst cases of scar tissue my surgeon has ever seen. Was what they call a cicatrix - basically the fat the roux limb has to come up thru turned hard almost like bone. And I also had a stricture where the pouch and intestines met.

Yay!!! I peed!!! I get to go home!!!
-
Just like I couldn't pee after my rny surgery, now I can't pee after this surgery either. I'd be discharged if I could just pee! Anyone else have this problem??
-
Thanks Hun! This surgery doesn't seem to have me down and out like the first one. Just sore.
-
Thanks!! If all looks ok I should get out of here sometime today too.

Morning everyone. Still sore from surgery #2 yesterday. My surgeon said it was one of the worst cases of scar tissue he's ever soon and I should immediately be better. Hard to tell right now, waiting on a repeat upper GI before I can drink or eat anything. Just on ice chips right now. Thanks for your prayers!

Heading to my pillow for a few hours. Have to be back at the hospital at 5:30am for a 7:00am surgery to laparoscopically remove adhesions that formed around my intestines during my bypass surgery. I don't ever ask, but please pray this fixes all my issues and allows me to finally eat and drink like I'm supposed to and without pain/vomiting!
