I was sleeved around 12:30 today and so far I am feeling good. Haven't used much pain medication. Only drawback is I can't sleep. Its 1:04 am and I'm wide awake!

You are probably just a little stressed. Read, watch TV or even better, maybe write in a notebook, maybe a journal .... you could be budding author!!! LOL :)

Has anyone developed a annoying cough? I dont cough anything up just can't get it under control.

I had a miserable cough from the moment I woke up (sore throat due to the tube in throat during surgery which you don't even know they did cause you are asleep when they do it) and it lasted until I was home about a week. I used Ricola sugar free Lemon Mint Herb Throat Drops, very soothing, especially just as I was going to bed. :^)

I'm still taking my aceto+codeine at night because that is when I feel my most soreness. It also helps with the back pain I get sleeping on my back as I am usually a side sleeper. Good sleep is a priority for me as it helps with healing and the keeps you mentally healthy. I am going to ask about liquid Tylenol at the first check up next week.

liquids are going down pretty easy, no hunger, no nausea. I feel I am pretty lucky.

My Dr said Tylenol was OK, liquid ONLY and use caution w/ quantity of course. I couldn't get it done one day so I mixed it in some Raspberry Crystal Light and it helped alot.

Thanks Destiny. We have a WLS support group at the hospital I'm having it at so I'm looking forward to participating. I've come to the conclusion God has always been and will continue to be my support system.

Moka,

One of the great things about God is that He knows intimately how to walk alone down a road where he is beaten, ridiculed, and ashamed. He will NEVER EVER let you suffer alone.

I'm praying that you see Him coming from the people around you. Every whisper of encouragement, every kind touch, every nurturing presence is His love for you, His child.

he and I are well acquainted. I will be praying for you with everything I have. I have my surgery the same day you do. If you want someone to call, feel free to IM me for my number.

Yes but just barely four days post op and thanks. I was so scared and nervous leading up to it. Then it was all over in a blink of an eye with just soreness.

      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!!
