Anyone else have intense pain after sitting for any length of time? I went with my family to a movie tonight and walking out my pain was crazy intense and I got nauseous. Just took a Zofran and am laying down with an ice pack. TIA

Hi Fellow Sleevers!

That's awesome! My post op appointment is Wed 12/9. My drain was removed in the hospital before I was discharged so I don't have to worry about that.

I'm still nervous though. My surgeon is very strict and not easily impressed, and I've had a very hard time with getting in my Protein and Water. I just know he's not gonna be too happy with me. On paper I'm sure it looks like I haven't been doing what I should but I don't know how to do more...it just feels like nothing else will fit! I have yet to use the bathroom either. I took Milk of Magnesia this morning and it was still a no-go (ha). ????

I agree, getting all the Fluid and Protein in is like a full time job. I am supposed to be getting 48 oz. of liquid. Haven't hit more than 32 yet. Have you tried sugar free Popsicles? Those seem to go down easiest for me. If it means anything, the dr. told me today not to worry too much about pooping as long as I wasn't feeling super bloated and uncomfortable. Let us know how Wed. goes, Brianna!

      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!!
