I go for my follow up tomm. But wanted to know if anyone had the same. I still can't get up or sit down without pain. And I can not eat all the liquids suggested .

Day 6 or 7 was my worst days, fortunately better days were right around the corner. I still cannot sleep reaaly comfortably on my left side. I called the doc also and was told it was just gas pains.

The side with the port did hurt the longest. Not sure if I would call it extreme pain though. I do have a pretty high pain tolerance though and only used tylenol after leaving the hospital.

I had horrible pain when I tried to sit up or move after my surgery. It is how they secured my port according to the surgeon. It should go away in a few days, however still now if I strain myself, or am dehydrated in any way I will get a charlie horse in that area of my abdomen. I don't know if this is common but it is like when you get one in your calf due to dehydration or needing potassium. I have found up the Water intake.. get some potassium down.. and I apply a heating pad to make it feel better.

      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!!
