4 hours post op. oW!! They're right. The gas is painful and the pain meds don't make it hurt less. No liquids at all until tomorrow :(

I can't believe i had the surgery.

Surgery went perfectly fine. The pain I was having real bad last night wasn't gas pain as I thought. It's the awfull feeling from the repair of the hiatal hernia. Pain meds just barely takes the edge off it! I am getting down my first full Protein Drink. Yay! Tea seems to setting better in my stomach than plain Water. I got ZERO sleep last night. Horrible! But this afternoon, I'm feeling better and more in control. Realizing that the new way of eating and drinking begins NOW. Hope all others are doing well!

Glad ur doin ok good to hear. Did u have to sip for hours to get drink down

Yes, it took me an hour or so to get the whole drink down. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I haven't thrown anything up to this point! Yay!

I'm very impressed that you got the whole Protein drink down! Seems like lots of people have trouble with that. So sorry that you had a horrible night - hospitals are really not good places to rest! Are you walking okay? Do you have someone with you to help you out? Do you need anything? I'm here and willing to help if you need anything - hang in there - much better days are in the near future! So jealous and can't wait to be where you are!

How's everyone doing? I'm tired :/ Not abnormal. And I know it was major surgery. I'm tellin ya - if anyone has a hiatal hernia repaired during their surgery, it's a doozie!

I'm getting in my 64 oz fluids in. Wondering if i need more bc i am not needing to use the bathroom more than 2x a day. But this is SC sweating weather. But pre op i drank way more Water.

Tho guidelines said to "aim for at least 40 grams protein", I'm trying to keep with the 60 grams. Been able to since I came home on Friday. I decided on the Centrum silver chewables. Got my Calcium citrate. Almost gagged on one of those today! Gonna pick up the sublingual B-12 tomorrow. I wanna do all I can to protect my hair!!

That's all for now. Thanks for listening!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
