I'm 1 week post op. Today was my hubby's birthday and where you'd assume that the struggle was being around celebration with food and cake there was non of that. My sweet husband wanting to keep things easy for me, didn't ask for anything and even took the kids with him to dinner without me so I wouldn't need to watch them eat.

So I've been feeling like a terrible wife because I didn't have any gifts for him (haven't been able to go shopping) and there was no cake, no candles to blow out. :(

I've cried several times feeling like a failure and my hubby keeps wiping away my tears telling me not to stress about it.

It's been really tough

He sounds like a very supportive and loving husband. You deserve this time to get your strength back, so relax and try not to be so hard on yourself. You'll be back up and around soon.

Don't worry, you will make it up to him a thousand times over once you are better and healthier! Let him spoil you right now and appreciate every minute of it! Better, healthier times will come my friend!

How are you feeling Nessa?

I love @@DEArgentina's advice! Let him spoil you and then you spoil him right back when you're ready! It will be even better and sweeter! <3

Message. I know exactly how you feel. My DH had his birthday the day before my surgery. We had to travel to the hospital for a few hours and what with nerves and second thoughts ( not much) and just trying to remember everything.... my poor Johnny got left behind.

He was so strong for me. Bless his heart.

A couple weeks later I made his favorite. Fresh blackberry pie.

I am 5 days post op and still working on getting in Protein. I do good to hit 60 right now. I was so bloated from the surgery and the air they pump in that I just got back to pre surgery weight yesterday. Due to the bloated feeling I am able to get down about 2 1/2 oz every 2 hours.

      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!!
