[mention=213790]sjfink[/mention] How are you doing after surgery? I'm still so nervous for my surgery June 5th!



4 days post op and super swollen! No drains this time, which seemed weird, but considering how uncomfortable they are, I'm not complaining! So far things look ok with the incisions & I'm hoping it stays that way! I feel like this one is the most uncomfortable recovery… or maybe I'm just forgetting how I was feeling after my TT/LBL! June 5 is right around the corner… I'm sure you'll do great!

@Dashofpixiedust8, i really need to get back to tracking. I have a food scale now and barely use it. I guess i just have no idea where to start. It's like I'm back at square one. I have all these ideas and fluff in my head and i can't make sense of it lol. My nutritionist is cool with me eating more carbs but i feel like i need to get a better handle on my Protein before i really incorporate carbs on a regular basis. Even tho i have my cheats i really don't eat carbs in my regular diet. No crackers, rice, potatoes and stuff like that. But lately I haven't been paying much attention and taking bites of others foods and drinking whenever regardless of when i last had a bite. I need a kick in the ass. Stopping all the crap today. Thanks for the motivation. Im not ruining all the hard work I've put in just for food.

@sjfink That is weird there are no drains! I've heard that's one of the more uncomfortable surgeries. I hope you start feeling better soon! I know June 5th is coming so close! I'm exited and nervous!

@Torriluv87 I didn't cut out carbs. I know a lot of people do but I know for me that wasn't an attainable diet. I did start weighing everything and tracking again. I think that is really key. It is important to track even the bites you take of food because they count too! Good luck to you!

So I woke up today and decided to weigh myself....230!!!! On May 10th I weighed 256 (10pds Water retention). Surgery day I weighed 246.

Its been a struggle but seeing the scale...makes me happy and 100% positive that I made the right decision for the surgery.

Happy Sunday to you all.

      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!!
