Headed To Outdoor Music Fest, Advise Please!



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

I just got sleeved on 5/15 and now I am headed to a music fest today. This is the first day I feel pretty OK in the morning but I know it will be a lot of walking and sun should be in the 80's today. I grabbed a bottle of Gatorade and a bottle of Water a carton of beef broth since I'm still on stage 2 and heading out. Anyone else tried anything this vigorous after surgery? I also have another one planned in two weeks for 3 days.

Just lots of drinks! You should be fine. The gatorade will be good, maybe even another gatorade in case. But have fun!!!

You are going to be really tired. Make sure you have some place to sit and rest, maybe bring a pillow to rest against your surgery. Don't worry if you need to stop after short distances - you had surgery. Just be prepared that you might have to leave. It's pretty early to go out for longer engagements. Oh, and have lots of Water on hand, like everyone else says.

Thanks all I grabbed some blankets a pillow and my lawn chair. I think for fluids I'll be good cant seem to cross 32oz so it may be overkill to bring what I have already. Hopefully they will let me bring it in ......I will update this evening with the results

      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!!
