Patience is key. I'm two weeks out. Last week I was lamenting not being able to have Water (it wasn't settling well so I was mostly hydrating with broth, G2 and sf Popsicles. Then I was able to have room temp water, a victory. And starting last night I was able to have cold water! I was silly to get hung up on it and think I'd never be able to have it again!

Long story short - everyday gets better! Be patient and kind to yourself. You'll get better and better each day that passes.

Also, walk, walk, walk as soon as possible after surgery as much as possible.

Ditto this! I had surgery Monday. Stay flexible and patient. Be kind to yourself. Every day HAS gotten better.

Today is my first full day home from the hospital and I'm finally on track to get all my fluids and Protein, a victory for me!

I'd never had surgery and was surprised both by how miserable I was and how quickly I could improve.

Make sure you have help at home. My dad is taking care of me and was scheduled to leave today, but he's staying cause I need him longer. He helps take care of my dogs, picks things up from the floor, brings me things when all I can bear to do is lay down, all little but frequent needs.

Also, it has helped me to sip little bits of my protein at a time and alternate with water. Before I tried to have too much protein at once and had greater GI distress.

And it's true, walking in the hospital always made me feel better.

      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!!
