Question For Post Opers



Recommended Posts

You know how you can weigh one thing in the morning and then through fluids etc weigh up to 5 pounds later? Do you still fluctuate like that after surgery?

we all have so much in common, I have two special needs step children. I was blessed to be able to raise four healthy sons and now I have the extra blessing of being a step mom and helping these kids be all that they can be.

Pretty cool.

When the weight loss center asked about my support system, and concern about my special needs children, I said oh you don't have to worry about that they will HELP me. And they do. My stepson is 17 and has cerebral palsy and non verbal, but never shuts up, lol, he is like my little nurse when I am sick. My step daughter is 28 and her diagnosis is mild to moderate retardation. She can't read and mixes things up. But she works full time at Kroger and she is a great help. So maybe these kids are raising me.

      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!!
