16 Days Post-OP and loving it!



Recommended Posts

Why?
I'm dropping pounds left and right, I took my last blood-thinner shot yesterday, and they moved my diet up to mushies.

Can we talk for a second about that.
I want to introduce you to my Lord and Savior Scrambled cheese eggs. They came back into my life last night and my eyes were opened to the Beauty and Joy that is Life. Angels sang, cherubs fired arrows, unicorns f*cked to Barry White songs, and Everything Was Right and Good in the world.

Yeah... I'm in a good mood. What? ;)

I love your post! and isn't it a great feeling when you do that last blood thinner injection? seriously, even though they really weren't a big deal, I swear with each one it took me longer to give myself the pep talk to do it than it actually did to do the injection - every.single.time

Praise be! Those scrambled eggs are indeed a savior!
My plan cleared us to eat them when ready starting the day after post-op. They were indeed my go to meal at restaurants and saved me and my social life! LOL

lol I had just posted the other day on some thread, that the day after weeks of pre-op diet and weeks of a liquid diet, when I was able to go to pureed/soft foods, I swear I felt like a straitjacket was removed. The freedom :D. Glad to see you feeling good. ^^

Glad I can edit. Autocorrect is never correct. lol

Ugh! The shots!! I was so glad to be rid of them, but it took several more weeks to get rid of all the bruises! I looked like someone had roughed me up in an alley somewhere, but at least they were careful to only land the blows on areas that wouldn't show with my clothes on!

I can completely relate about the eggs, today finally I had a scrambled egg ( I was able to get only few spoons in) and thankfully it sit good in my tummy and I loved every second of it. I added cheese and milk to it (as I am struggling to meet my Protein goal, I am so tired of the rtd shakes). Taste was awesome!! My surgery was on 09.15.2016.

      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!!
