Knock, Knock!!! Who's there? Me!!!

I'm back!!!! Everyone I have been so out of whack not being able to get on here and get motivation. As soon as I returned from a visit home (3 hrs) away, my job sent me out of town. This has been a stressful 5 days.

So how's everyone doing? I missed chatting with yall.

April 29th! Just started my 2 week pre op diet today.Using Bariatric Advantage banana Protein Powder. Not too bad-but it is day one. Getting nervous and excited as the date nears. Never had major surgery before but know I made the right decision!

Good luck everyone!

Home today. Surgery was Monday. Day two of Clear Liquids. Walked evening of surgery three rounds around ward. Tuesday walked 30 rounds in three stages of ten rounds. Wednesday, release day, walked a mile in neighborhood. Gas pains are pretty severe and burping a lot. Walking definitely is the key to recovery. Haven't been able to get down more than a few ounces of clear broth. One more day of clear liquids and then 11 days of puréed food. First check with surgeon May 6.

This is workable! Water retention is a problem. Came home 8 lbs heavier than when I went into the hospital.

Surgery in the morning. I did my Clear Liquids today, cleaned the house & wrote a 5000 word research paper for school. I am too tired to be nervous.

See you all on the other side!

        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!!
