Don't be nervous! You'll fall asleep and wake up sleeved, that's what it feels like.

I think they're releasing me today! Not much pain other than gas bubbles - no nausea or vomiting since the 1st night.

I had to wait too. But they put me in a heated bed, which was toasty since it is still cold here (early spring) and I read magazines. Don't be nervous. They will take good care of you. Before you know it, it will be all over :-)

Today I'm four weeks post op. I had my surgery Oct 2. I feel amazing and blessed to have done this. I never really take full body shots of myself in the past, but I had one sorta. Last night I got to shop for a new pair of jeans and for the first time it wasn't at lane Bryant or the plus size section. I've been loosing more inches this past two weeks and anyway. Was able to wear a size 12 in jeans from American Eagle! ( I actually got to buy it off the rack) I feel amazing. Heres a before and after picture. Hope everyone is doing just as good!! My face looks so thin and not two chins! Lol.

Yes! Walk as much as you comfortably can! I did at least a mile the day after I got out of the hospital, with my 81 yo dad and 76 yo mom by my side!

I had my surgery on the 22nd and I don't know if anyone has had this particular problem. I have this pain in my groin area on the left side when I move my left leg a certain way. I can't make any quick movements or I will get a very sharp pain. Has anyone else experience that?

No' date=' but as a nurse, I recommend you get that checked out... It could be nothing more than sore muscles, but it could also be something more serious such as a blood clot. Best wishes, I'll be thinking of you!

Yep, definitely should get it checked.

      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!!
