I made a HUGE mistake and God Willing I will learn form it. Ate food 10 days Post-Op



Recommended Posts

All I can say is that I hope and pray I don't have a leak or that I did any damage to my new sleeve. how could i be so dumb. some people on here have reassured me and also scared me that i could die.

it's so scary. my own fault for not being prepared better. instead of stocking up again, i got so worried and prepared for this blizzard. long story short. i ate normal food. small portions but still. i hope i dont get sick or die.

Luckily i have no pains or cramps. no aches and no fevers. but how do i know for certain if i caused a leak in my staple line. ??

my doctors office isnt even open until monday.

i am so stupid.

I was released to eat reg food around that time...it's just up to your specific doc...what I'm saying is you should be fine. If I was given permission...& survived...you should too. Just be careful.

wow,

you posted for more days than this same things.

You are suposed to do whats on the paperwork not assume that you'll be alright,

the Blizzard is here yes but you should had shopped and bought things you needed long before the weather was this bad. You need a reality check, the future depends on your being responsable too and learning about food and the surgery is suposed to help you control obesseion,

sorry,

but I don't understand what your doing, I am doubting this will have such an effect that you'll die, you've driven yourself into an anxiety state.

Can we back off on the guy? He realizes he needs to stop. Everybody has scared him enough.

Please do not forget that some docs allow their patients to begin in eating real food very soon after surgery. Some are more cautious.

Also, we do not know what his situation was with regards to his ability for "preparation" so passing judgement on his commitment or lack of is again, over the top. And maybe I'm missing something but I did not get the impression that he was unable to control his "obsession".

Once again, somebody posts looking for support and they get attacked and/or scared to death.

I see, thats a very long liquid diet, perhaps if you gain better control and think it all through its just fine now, but I had more than enough pre surgery for 2 weeks post and still the storm had been in the news for 5 days 2 or 3 were they said it was a huge Blizzard.

Please don't feel it that I am being harsh toward you, I am concerned, I suggest just if you feel better responsable and respect the paperwork and you are responsable too you'll again feel in control. I am unsure to what length you really did that bad any way.

Good luck in the storm, you should be fine to shop in a couple of days.

Sounds like you will be fine. Stop beating yourself up. Keep some protien powder around. My doc lets you eat soft foods after 2 weeks.

You will be ok, if you are still worried call your doc as soon as possible and I'm sure he/she will reassure you that you are ok. :) my Dr put me on mushies after 1week, soft foods after 2 weeks and regular foods after 4 weeks. All drs are different so I cant say what's right or wrong, but know you are going to be fine!

      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!!
