Hi All,

Surgery went well, had my band out, revision to bypass and gallbladder removed. I am pretty sore and use the pump for pain but that is expected. Already walked 3 laps and about to go on another walk in few min before calling it a night.... The pain meds make me really really sleepy. Upper GI in the morning, if I pass, I will be able to start liquids, right now can just suck on ice which I am grateful for because my mouth is so dry.

Everyone is taking such great care of me so far so good :)

Today is a bit tougher... Feel like I did 2000 crunches... Going for upper GI in an hour and half, hopefully everything will be good.

Thank you everyone... Glad I can come here talk to you all. I passed my upper GI so I am drinking now and ordered my first meal (broth, Jello, Popsicle and juice so I can try and see what goes better for me) will be measuring those in 1 oz cups for 4 oz meal.

Got my oxygen monitor out and caterer, brushed my teeth and washed the face... Walked half hour in the halls... Things seem to look promising... One weird thing that happened is I had blood sugar level of 200 (I am not a diabetic) so they had to test it every 4 hours, finally it went down to 117. I was told it's because surgery was such a shock to the body so blood sugar spiked.

They are thinking I should be getting released on Monday :)

Had light fever last night so staying another day to be monitored, they want me to be without fever for 24 hours guess I need to keep using that breathing machine more often to clear out my lungs and I still haven't passed gas... Geez never knew this would take so freaking long...

Once you begin passing that gas, you will have difficulty stopping! But, once you start passing you will feel so much better! Trust me on this one. A slight fever would be a reason for you to stay an extra day. You are already there, and they want to make sure they send you out on your own as healthy as possible. Don't fret. Your new life on the loser's bench will begin soon enough. Good Luck

Yep I agree, I actually told them I don't mind staying another day, I feel safer here and I can adjust the bed the way I need to etc. I am not in a rush, just did 4 laps In the hallway, should have brought my Fitbit lol just ready to feel better.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
