Surgery done, fighting on

[erisp 28]

So I got the bypass done on 8/17. I was freaking out before hand. Then, of course, it went just fine. I did have a pretty bad hiatal hernia that was repaired too.

I felt restriction for the first time today when I got cream of wheat and was done after 11 spoons.

Luckily I've had no nausea or vomiting. I'm taking in all of you guys' lessons on pacing and walking and sipping.

Now I'm just waiting to go home and sleep! [emoji4]

Congrats on your surgery and so glad it went well!!!

Now, Holy crap Batman! You're gettin' to eat Cream o'the wheat? Surgeons are so diff. I will be on 2 weeks liquid pre-op + 2 weeks liquid post op. And I would think my PCOS would have a field day if I had 11 bites of Cream of Wheat. (Not judging you, just commenting on how different and unique we all are!! You=luckyyyyyyyy)

Yeah, I had the 2 week liver shrinking that included 2 Protein bars/day but that was the only thing I could chew. I was on clear liquid for the first two days post op and today, day 3, I am allowed the full liquid diet. This includes cream of wheat. I'm on this full liquid diet until day 14. I said spoons though because it wasn't thick enough to bite. Psychologically, it helped to imagine I was having actual food. Yeah, I know what you mean though, I was incredibly jealous of people who just eat low carb pre op.

RNY scheduled for 8/17/17
