Hi you all. I had my surgery last week Tuesday 3/25. I had a large hiatle (not sure of spelling) hernia. My doc said half my stomach was in my chest. I went for leak test and dye got stuck. It did go down next day.I also had Fluid in my lungs. I was in hospital for 4 days. My doc wanted 5 but I begged him to let me go home. I am better today but had to have more fluid put in me yesterday through Iv at doc office. To be honest I regretted the surgery for the first few days. I cant wait to get to next stage in diet because am so sick of shakes now. I am sorry if I sound ungrateful or negative. I am sure I will be OK and my funk will change.

Ahhh... im so sorry you are experiencing so many difficulties. Just know that a couple months from now they will be a great and inspiring story with which you can help others. On to healing. .. and smaller pants

Those first 2 or 3 weeks can be difficult but it does get much much better. You will soon be eating real food and feeling so much better. What you are feeling is pretty normal, a lot of us have been there. Give yourself some time and try to have patience. This time next month you will be singing a whole new tune.

Hope things are going better for you now.
