What Were You Eating Day 10?



Recommended Posts

My friend who had her surgery three weeks before me and I were talking today about the difference in how far we've progressed.

I am 10 days out, was never on a liquid diet or Protein Shakes, ate pureed food while in the hospital and will be moving to soft food this coming week. She had her surgery three weeks before me, was on liquid and Protein shakes for weeks before and after, and is just now starting to eat similarly to me...and she's scared to eat sometimes.

I'm no rocket scientist, but I think that my surgeon has the correct plan going on. I have more energy than my friend, I'm losing 1 to 2 pounds a day, and I'm not scared to eat. That being said, I'm "only" eating 1/4 cup of pureed food, three times a day. And two cups of milk for Snacks.< br />

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
