  1. My operation was on 8/21. I had a staple line leak and my BP kept dropping. I had internal bleeding, I was dehydrated and I passed out each time I stood up. It was super scary. The hospital staff was prepping me to go back into the OR when my surgeon decided on a different course of action, which was to stop the anticoagulants and let my body clot naturally and it worked! The whole first day I was in bed unable to move. Since I was unable to move, I had a gas bubble settle in my back under my ribs and the pain was second to child birth. I was given morphine and had a terrible reaction to, so that was a hard pass. I was given a pint of blood to recover what was lost internally. By day 3, I was ready to go home as long as I could tolerate my diet which felt next to impossible! Trying to get down 4oz of protein shake was harder than I thought. Now, I'm back to my FTJ as of last week and I'm down 26lb! I was given the ok to eat cereal and soft meats yesterday. While this is great, I'm super scared that I'm going to gain weight and not lose anymore. Any suggestions?
