Sam,

Thanks for the tip....I just may need to go that route! I'm even okay with a little pain even if the alternative isn't as effective just to avoid that epidural!

Thanks again!

Krista

I'M HOME!!!!!! It felt so good to sleep in my own bed last night (and on my belly woohoo!) Traveling yesterday was long but I upgraded to first class so I was more comfortable. I was mad I couldn't eat the short ribs, chicken chowder, cheesecake, steak and Pasta they served. I just sipped my tea and was glad that I at least wasn't hunger because that would have been torture. I must admit I was going to get a bowl of Soup and just sip the liquid but when I saw the other passengers bowl I knew it was too thick and didn't want to get sick on a plane. I took a pain pill last night when I got home at midnight and a friend stayed over so I wouldn't spend my first night alone. I hope I won't need anymore of those. I am feeling great today. I had to by antibacterial soap (Dial) to wash with because the wound where the drain was is open and I had to get gauze to change the dressing. I already had skin tape. I have to take the dressing off before my shower and put a new one on after drying off. Well, I guess this is my last entry to this thread. I can now post my weekly updates in the Post-Op forum! :-) Thank you all for being there for me. Any questions please let me know and I will answer them privately or on here, which ever you prefer!

      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!!
