Surgery is in 1 day now. Nervous!

You will do great!!! Excited for you & you will look back & be so glad you did it! Today is 3 weeks for me! And still very glad!

I keep thinking that it has surely been at least a month, but nope, lol, just three weeks! Crazy!

Well here we are at the last of our Surgery Pals for October going in tomorrow! Wishing you all very good outcomes!!! I hope it turns out as successful as mine with limited pain!

Sending prayers to @@395Ron that he heals from his complications! And anyone else who may be struggling with there post op!!!

Has there been any news of Ron?

I have a cautionary tale for you, my fellow post-surgery mates…

Last night I was in a hurry to get to my son's football game. I warmed up my dinner, a kinda pita pocket hamburger (it was a "diet" food, low carbs/sugars, etc., frozen section of Kroger)… I was excited because I am now allowed regular foods and this was the one of the first "regular" things I've eaten in over 6 weeks.

So! I. ate. too. fast Just as I was sitting down to watch my son's game, I felt it… a pain in my lower chest… some of my dinner was stuck. I did not chew well, like I know that I am supposed to do. It was so awful. I broke out in cold sweats and, though I could breath, could not stop gagging. I had to go to the parking lot, hide between cars, and vomit my saliva (heard it referred to as "the foamies"). After about the third time, a small piece of food came out. The piece was not anything that I would have had a problem with pre surgery… honestly, it was tiny by normal standards. Even after I threw it up, I continued to vomit saliva, that I was unable to swallow, for about another 5 minutes.

Following advice I found online (yes, many others have experienced this horrible experience, apparently), I have been on liquids only for 24 hours. From what I have read, no long term ill effects can be expected, but inflammation is common.

I knew I needed to take small bites and chew, chew, chew, but I became over confident and rushed too damn much…I've learned my lesson, for now! Hopefully, my own little post-bariatric surgery nightmare will help you guys remember the rules and avoid such an unpleasant (and scary) situation in the future.

No I haven't heard anything. I 'm so hoping he is alright! Ya the chili recipe has a lot of ingredients, hope you like it, let me know! I had a small episode of eating to fast talking on the phone & eating, just got to the stuck & uncomfortable. My husband has to tell me sometimes to slow down. I chew well but try to go back to eating to fast. I haven't weighed again but feel like I may have lost another 5 lbs. My scale is different than my dr.'s so I don't want to get discouraged. So If I'm right I have lost 10lbs since surgery day. Not alot, but way better than if I hadn't had the surgery plus not starving!!!

Had surgery 20/28, doing better then I was, still trying to manage getting my fluid down. Been doing a lot of walking.

My doctor wanted me to wait 2 weeks, and I had refried beans for the protein at that time. Call your Nutritionist & see what they recommend.

Yea!!! Your not getting good sleep in the hospital, I was exhausted when I got home. You probably won't want to drink much when you get home either, you just have to make yourself. Have a safe trip home!

I'm headed home early today. Still in pain but it's tolerable and they gave me liquid pain killer to use at home. I have not thrown up or anything yet

Heading home. every bump in the road is killing me

Lisamarie. I think mashed potatoes are off limits for me forever. Wasted carb calories with no protein. My nutritionist would croak if I asked her that. Plus I want to respect my sleeve and not cheat it. Been thru too much. Why do you even want mashed potatoes?
