September buddy wanted



Recommended Posts

Oops hit wrong key. Good luck to every one this weekend and a speedy recovery to all. Success on your journey to a life. Mine is the 10th so ready to be on the other side (I think minus the pain for a short time). For the next 3 days liquid only shakes and Water. I think this is worst. Woke up with headache glad for this part to be over.

I'm HOME from my surgery this morning and feeling great! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, my incisions don't hurt, I'm able to sip Water and Protein drink and walk around. I've only taken 1/2 of a pain pill.

Also, I knew I had a hiatal hernia and Dr said he'd fix it--no problem. But afterwards he said that hernia was too large to fix! I was too sleepy to question him and I will call him tomorrow.

lab lover, I felt crappy immediately after the surgery, tired and thirsty. But by the time I left the hospital at 2:30 (surgery at 7:15), I was feeling pretty good. I haven't slept since I've been home but will go to bed early. I am starting to get some soreness in abdomen but it's not too bad. It's making it harder to do the breathing exercise.

I was anxious before surgery. They will give you something to relax you before you go in the operating room. Just think of all the good that is to come!

The barium swallow wasn't much fun but tolerable.

Day THREE post sleeve.

My first day I felt great! Easy-peasy. No nausea, no shoulder gas pains. Next day I was so sore! i finally hit the pain pills but still no nausea. I guess I skipped the gas pains. I have a script for nausea but the anesthesiologist put a patch behind my ear and gave me something extra in the drug mix. I still have the patch on and it seems to doing a great job.

I'm not hungry at all. It's a strange reality. Normally a bag of chips is like a siren to me but there is one on the counter and I haven't even considered it.

One issue I had was a large hiatal hernia--which my doctor was planning to fix. However, it was much larger than he expected so repairs were not made. Waiting for my 2-week post appointment to see what next steps are for that.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
