I have not taken any today either. I woke up and just felt full and bloated. I have been trying to make myself drink and eat. Not that great so far. I am hoping this afternoon is better than this morning. I have walked twice already today. I think that helps with the bloating..

I'm completely exhausted today. I don't know if I overdid it over the weekend or not. All I wanna do is sleep. I have so much to do and I go back to work tomorrow. I don't need all this.

Me too!! I am fighting for energy right now. I am not eating enough at all but I just feel full all the time. I have a call out to ny nut right now to see what I can do for more energy. I have been trying to go all day without pain medicine but I think I might break down shortly.

What are you guys eating? Nothing sounds good to me. :(

I'm totally wiped out today too. I don't know if I just did a little too much over the weekend or what. Concerned because I go back to work tomorrow.

I just feel so nauseated and weak. I ended up taking some pain medicine 15 minutes ago because I thought why fight it? My BP was a little high too and that can be a sign of pain.

I don't know how you are going to work tomorrow. How far out are you? I really haven't had the " why did I do this to myself" until today. Im miserable and hope this bloated feeling passes. I keep walking my house and doing walking in place. It is way too hot to walk outside (Florida).

Im just whiny and this isn't like me at all. :(

I took some pain medication and it helped. I think I was trying to cut myself off too soon. I am in Florida so I am just walking my house too. Tv sucks and I can't concentrate to read. Maybe I will watch a movie soon.

My nurse said today(I'm 6 days post op) she doesn't understand why ppl fight the pain meds. That's why they give them to you... Struggling through the pain isn't going to heal you any faster . And it's going to take more than one bottle of pain meds to become addicted to them. Mine have been a blessing. I am down to taking one script and one Tylenol. All is going great! :) drain tube out Wednesday! Whoo hoo

So True Mandee! Resting free from pain is an important part of the healing process. WHen my Dr. Discharged me he said " now don't go home and think you have to lay on the couch all day but you don't have to be superwoman either" I think we are so excited about our new lives that we want to jump on it now now now!

      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!!
