9 Days Out And Getting Frustrated With Myself..



Recommended Posts

Okay so here's the thing. I was sleeved on Monday, July 30th and everything has been normal. Been fine, feeling great despite the gas pain and etc. Went to my post-op yesterday and was cleared to bring in some pureeds. Left there and went out with family to have Breakfast and decided to try an egg. Went down fine and seemed okay. Then as the day progressed, started to have killer chest and stomach pain. Checked online and it said most likely gas pain. Then out of no where I was overcome with chills to a point where I had to put on sweats, socks,under shirt, and sweat shirt...and still get under two blankets. Went to bed with 99.3 and then woke back up around 2 a.m.with a temp of 101.1!! Took some of the layers off and seemed okay. Have been on Heparin shots until yesterday so wondering if anyone else has had anything like this happen? Keep in mind I live in Ga so putting on all that clothes has everyone else thinking I'm crazy....

I'm wondering if you were getting ill already and the egg had little to do with it?

Sounds like you got a little bug of some sort...

Is your drain and everything out and incisions looking good? Sounds like an infection to me. I was sleeved on the same day and tried egg, too. Didn't work out well for me, either. However, I don't think you would have fever and chills from eating the wrong thing. My doctor says to call him for a temp of over 100........

I ate an egg on pureed and felt fine but then I was told by my Physician Assistant technically egg was considered "soft" food not pureed so I'm waiting until Monday (my 4 weeks) to do it again.

Everything but the fever is in line with it not "being time."

WOW, this is the same thing tht happened to me last night. I had my surgery on Aug 13th so I shouldn't have even attemted and egg. But I ate the white part of of boiled egg and chewed it really well. Then about an hour later I had chills so bad I ws shaking violently. My husband put 3 blankets on me and I still couldnt stop. It hurt bc I was so tensed up. He took my temp and sd I didnt have a fever but I was so scared. Then an hour later I warmed back up after taking my pain medicine. I dont know what it was but it was scary.

I would definitely call your doctor to at least make sure they're aware of it - fever can be a sign of infection/leak. It's probably just a bug/gas, but it's better safe than sorry and this way at least they're aware of it. Feel better soon!

      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!
