Less than 24 hours post op I feel great. No pain. I finally got some gas relief. But I have coughed one of my incisions open. What I thought was as pain is actually swelling where they placed my port. My shoulder stopped hurting!!!!! I did figure out that if I sip sip sip I won't have the urge to cough. I wish I would have figured that out 12 hours ago..

I haven't had any coughing but I did have some broth that made me feel like my stomach was bloating and hurt a bit. Took a longer walk and that helped. Right now my incisions and a persistent headache are the pain sources but they are bearable. Of course the morphine helps :)

I haven't had anything to eat. I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. I will try that without the noodles. What with the headache? I have noticed that I don't have the ire to pee anymore..... I'm usually the potty master.

Hahahaha. I am surprised how much I've been peeing in comparison w my intake, tho I'm also hooked to an IV.

With the Unjury be careful not to heat the Water past 140 degrees. I ignored that b/c I didn't want warm liquid, I wanted hot and it got totally funky and had to throw it away.

Yesterday I was peeing IV Fluid. I've had about 4 ounces of Fluid since I've been home and two pop sickles.

Mine isn't yet but they just gave me a lozenge that helped. The inside of my lip is all really raw and swollen from where the breathing tube was taped. Think it was pressing my lip into my tooth. Ah well.

Does anyone else have to keep a food diary? I have to take it with me to my first appointment. I'm fine with that it olds me accountable for my new lifestyle.

I don't have to - but I prefer to. I use myfitnesspal app and if you go to their full website on a computer you can print out your daily entries.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
