Swollen, Miserable Can't Keep Fluids Down



Recommended Posts

Thank you all! My nurse just came to hook up my tpn, praying the next 7 days of steroids brings swelling down and no further surgery is needed. I'm just at the point where I want to keep liquids down, be on track and get back to somewhat of a normal life. I'm keeping optimistic.

Thanks Sar! I'm just letting the steroids do their job :) I haven't tried anything much other than ice chips but I'm even tolerating that a little better, so that has to be a good sign :)

      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!!
