Well 9:30pm. Recovery it's a little tough. I've had gastritis for years. I don't fart for some reason so getting the co2 out has been tough. I finally just burped for the first time thank God.

When I first got out the stomach pain was really bad but two hits of demirol and one of delotted (sp) and I slept and woke up better

Girls. To say you don't get hungry is a under statement. I've had nothing but Water all day. Zero appetite. Like literally zero. Gonna try broth and Jello tomorrow. I've gotten nauseous a couple times but held it back

Feeling ok right now. Blood pressure is a little high other wise I'm pretty good.

Yay burp. The gas is the hardest part of recovery but it's doable. Walk walk walk. Sip sip sip. And breath breath breath. There is this breathing treatment you di every hour to prevent pneumonia

I'll keep u posted! Thks!

My surgery is scheduled for 11/17th /15. I am scared. My husband does not support my decision. I will probably be alone for my surgery. Praying for God mercy and blessings.

Night was a little rough. Again due to being a no-fart person lol.

Much better today. Took last dose of pain meds and now I'm on Fluid counting. 4oz per hour. Started with protien shake. Now broth. Then Jello

Super excited becuz the liquid diet part is easy!. Cuz you're totally not hungry so not having to eat is almost a relief. Drinking much more appealing

Should be released this afternoon ????

        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!!
