1 week post op! Puree time!

[cleobrown 3]

Well, I found out that I have a h pylori infection and my glucose was very high. I have never had any glucose issues despite having a strong family history if diabetes. The PAs were debating whether to put me on metformin but chose to recheck my a1c in 3 mos. The PA thought my chest pain could be related to my hiatal hernia repair healing, so I was prescribed levsin. I took about 3 yesterday and I took my first pain free sip of Water this morning! I'm so happy it's helping! Get this, I was prescribed prevpac for the h pylori which consists of 4 huge pills that are taken in the am/pm for 14 days! Umm no! There is no way those are going down yet!

I am feeling better and better each day, my incisions barely hurt anymore. I am going to try to get some yogurt down today, baby steps!

Thanks for asking!

I am technically 7 days post op and have my f/u appt. on Fri. 12/11. My week 2 diet consists of full liquids, soft dairy and strained Soups. I have noticed that many sleevers had different pre op and diet progression rules. I want to start soft foods but it's hard to get liquids down because the gas in my chest is HORRENDOUS! I have heard that it can take up to 3 weeks for it to dissipate!

Other than the gas, I am feeling ok. I get a little weak if I overdo it trying to walk out the gas... I'm not taking in the liquids that I should but I don't feel hungry at all. Hopefully the soft foods will go down better!

Awesome Cleo brown! I see many people has complications after. I'm glad u haven't experienced much besides the gas. How'd it go on ur follow up?

Oh no! They did an H pylori test before I had surgery. Luckily I tested negative.

Sorry to hear about ur glucose levels! That's so odd that it would spike up post op. Hopefully ur a1c will be good!
