my first night was horrible because I was dry heaving all night.. I don't wanna make anyone else nervous though because it isn't typical.. I react realllllly bad to anesthesia. Anyway today is MUCH better! just got my ice chips while my coordinator Trish took my mom out for tacos :) Tomorrow is leak test!

Hello!

I had my surgery on the 13 and I'm still in the hospital. I will be here until Sunday. if all goes well. My bladder has been asleep, they are hoping with the walking I've been doing will awaken it up. Hope everyone is doing good.

Well, had my sleeve done on Sept 11th, with a hiatal hernia repair which I was not expecting. I could not get anything down for the first 2 days, lots of nausea and vomiting. then yesterday I started swallowing and getting the liquids down but then I have constant heartburn and frequent hiccups. but I feel much better. I hope to be going home tomorrow.

I'm so sorry your bladder isn't cooperating...hope it gets better soon and you get to go home!

Is anyone else dying for real food? I got some different kinds of Soups to strain just to get a different flavor. I haven't pushed my sleeve too much, so I'm not sure how much I can hold right now. So far, I've had some strained Soup and some greek yogurt. Anyone that's post-op, what did your first week of food after sleeve look like?

I found some squash Soup at Trader Joes that is SO yummy!! Also Tomato Soup is another fav. Throw in a little basil...mmmmm

Greek yogurt is another fav right now.

I tried adding some chicken Protein Powder to my creamy chicken soup but just couldn't do it after surg. I loved it before surg! Go figure.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
