My surgery is in the morning what was your first 24 hours like for example you woke up from surgery open your eyes and what did you feel know what I mean like who prepares me for that some people say I'm going to feel like I'm dying did you feel like you're going to die funny not funny but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from I guess I just want to know what to expect the first few hours right after surgery anything would help thanks I'm a nervous wreck right now

I also had surgery on the 12/11 and was very nervous too. To be honest when I woke up I was still out of it. I would see and hear the nurses but wasn't able to speak. My throat was really sore from the breathing tube. The worst part for me, was that I was really nauseous due to the anesthesia. I would try to vomit and nothing would come up but the anesthesia doesn't sit well with me, so this might not happen to you. I was starting to feel a better that same evening but still very sore. And gas pains are real bad, so make sure to walk and walk as soon as you can even if it's at a turtle pace :) Good luck to you!

Congratulations on your journey! My "surgiversary" is December 11. What a difference a year makes. The struggle is real but it is totally worth it. Just take advantage of all the information and advice on this site and keep the faith. I had my first post surgery appointment with my primary doctor today and ALL of my "numbers" are fabulous. I look better, but more importantly I FEEL better!!

Best wishes!!

I was sleeved on Monday 12/14 and doing great too! If the Soup tastes good please share the recipe.... the cream of chicken I just made was not so great. Canned Soups made me sick before because of the MSG so I don't want to try them.

      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!!
