I got a bug on day 10!



Recommended Posts

I felt terrible yesterday. Pain, nausea, and GERD. Called WLC and they guided me through the GERD. I stayed in bed all day. I'm a little better today, but very tender. Took one big nap. I feel like I've been set back from recovering. It almost feels like day 1. Anyone get sick this early?

I did get cold sick within 3 weeks post op. It sucked!

I am so sorry you are not feeling well and especially sorry you are having gets issues. Which surgery did you have?

I had by-pass. I'm still not right. The doctor had the nurse call in a cocktail to help and when my husband went to get it it didn't get called in. We upped the Prolsec an that has helped a little. I'm hating these Protein Drinks. I have left a message but it seem to be an answering machine.

Arg! I got the flu with I think an infection week three as well. I still have the worst cough ever (just crossed the month-line). I found cold medicines with how little food is in my stomach AWFUL. Between pain meds before and cold meds this last week I haven't had a clear head since pre-op and I miss the few days in between when I was just in pain! BUT it's getting better now and the rebound is amazing! I feel great about everything all at once and plain old recovery discomforts don't bug me now. (For what that's worth!)

Oh goodness! You are doing so good! I mean taking medicine takes up so much space! I hate it. Just got a hold of my surgeon and she had to call them. The would take electronic. I'm spitting up foam now.

Ufff! I'm sorry! It can't last forever and the rest of the rough days will almost certainly pass so much more easily when it's done.

Feeling much better today. Resorted to pain medicine last night. Something is better now, I can get something in my stomach now. Yay! Thanks!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
