Recommended Posts

Day eight for me. Still spend a lot of time in the recliner. Per doctor's orders, a minimum of 64 oz liquid and 100 grams Protein. Walk the block several times a day. Even drove the car for a spell today. Dying for pureed foods but that is another three weeks away.

One week post op I was in my recliner asleep. I came home with a sleeve' date=' an umbilical hernia and a severely sprained neck. I was still on T3 and major muscle relaxers. I slept several times a day AND all night. I didn't start to really become coherent till the middle or end of the second week... 3 weeks out and my neck is still sore and so is the repaired hernia, which I JUST strained catching myself from a fall this morning. UGH! :0)[/quote']

I had a really sore neck too!! So did another girl I met in the hospital. She went to her chiro on day 4 for it. I wonder what they did to us lol

I'm 10 days post op..started purée foods 2 day ago. I can only eat about 5-6 teaspoons at the most and I'm full. Definitely getting my liquids in. I feel awesome and I love how I can see the difference in my clothes already. Best decision I could have made.

I am day 20 and I still have 10 more days to go on full liquids. I can't wait until I can have puréed foods. Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese and mashed potatoes never looked so good!

Funny story:

The day I got home from surgery, I went to "breakfast" with my brother and dad. They had the special: eggs, potatoes, bagel, coffee - $5.49.

I ordered chicken broth and hot Decaf tea. They charged me for "soup" $3.99 and $1.99 for the tea.

You do the math...

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
