Thanks for the quick replies. I live in south Florida , I'm a nurse and very excited and nervous about all of this . So glad I found this app because just the little bit I have seen so far has eased my mind. Still trying to figure it all out though .

Welcome. I'm5 days post op and feeling just fine. Listen to all these tips on this website--they do help. Walk as much as you can at the hospital--the IV is there for you to get fluids because just sipping while in the hospital is uncomfortable--not painful..just harder than before. You will feel better coming home because you are not getting awaken during the night at the hospital. When you begin sipping your Water do it slowly, I used to be able to drink a big glass of water all the time trying to lose weight. Now, take sips--you don't want to hurt your new stomach. Good luck and don't be nervous everything will be fine.

I'm new to this group as well and my surgery date is May 29th. I don't know how to use this app so any help would be great.

      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!!
