Shortness of breath after surgery needs to be addressed right away either with your surgeon or your primary care doctor. It's a must!! liquid stools postop when you're following a liquid diet are ok unless you're getting dehydrated. CALL YOUR DOCTOR please.

I'm glad you were smart enough to do that. A pulmonary embolism is the biggest concern. Keeping fingers crossed that it's only something minor.

Were you given an incentive spirometer to use after surgery? I was instructed to use mine for quite a while post-op.

It's important to make sure our lungs are fully re inflated after surgery.

Yes, it's the "blow thingy". I had one device to blow into every hour and one to vibrate my lungs every hour (so basically using one or the other every 30 minutes).

It's purpose is to make sure you fully inflate your lungs. This helps to prevent pneumonia.

Relax, you get more radiation flying in a plane. It's not too late to do your incentive spirometry. Did you keep it? Try and use it every hour while your awake. If it's been misplaced, take very slow deep breaths to expand your lungs every hour instead.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
