Glad to hear you're home, NK. Every day at home gets better. I feel so much better, not sore and I even went to the shops today! I was pooped after but was good to get out. I'm still struggling to get enough fluids in but trying hard. We're both on the right side of it all now

Fluids is definitely my biggest issue right now....i wish I had kept the little 30ml cups they had when I was on the ward....they were perfect to guage how much you needed to have at one time.

Hey NK, feeling like a human again and getting out and about but still struggling getting enough Protein and fluids. I've got my appointment with the dietician tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can progress onto the next stage which will hopefully help me get more Protein etc. how are you going??

Yeah....I probably average 50g of protein a day....but I'm able to get at least 2L of fluids a day...whether it's water/v8 juice/soup/sustagen/etc. I get a small occasional pain when I drink just a little bit too much but had a win with eating some snack pack choc custard last night....today I'm going to try fruit puree and see how I go. My appointment with the doc isnt until Friday week.....hopefully I can start on mushy foods then.

I'm now on 'minced & mashed' foods! I'm so happy! Tonight I had a little bit of chicken and gravy. I couldn't eat much but man, best meal ever! Was worried that my stomach wouldn't cope but it all went down fine. You shouldn't be too far behind me NK?!? I also had little pain spurts from time to time but I think it was my stomach telling me to slow down or it was too cold. It passes though. I haven't had any trouble with it in a couple of days.

Hi. Getting there - it certainly is an interesting experience! Getting nauseous over nothing and going off anything sweet. Roll on puree stage! It is getting easier each day :)

Good to hear MM.

So Ive managed to get down 16kg since being sleeved. Almost onto solid foods....although I am eating them just chewing the hell out of them before swallowing. Exercise is starting to increase. My walk yesterday was 7.74km.....took just over an hour.

How is everyone else doing?

Well done NK! That's awesome!!!! I'm doing great, I'm tolerating all the foods I've eaten so far and I'm back to normal foods at the end of this week (yay)! I'm starting my daily walks today (my dog will be so happy)! I'm down 15kg and couldn't be happier! Are you back at work NK?

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
