I just had surgery on January 30th 2018



Recommended Posts


I also had surgery on 1/30. My nutritionist allowed me to have 1/2 Premier Protein shake beginning yesterday in morning and other half in evening. What a treat. Anxious for appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I can get tube out. Liquid coming out is almost clear. Still wearing patch for nausea.



Same surgery date. I had a drain. Having that thing taken out was the best thing that happened to me [emoji23][emoji23]. I'm on 4 oz of liquid an hour. Trying to get 64 oz in. How's everyone feeling?

Yay another 30th sleever! And you had a drain? You’re the first person I’ve come across who’s had one. And I took my patch off I don’t have anything holding me back aside from muscle soreness. And premier is great!

That’s great! I know how difficult it is to be a back sleeper and it sucks [emoji19] I was just curious because I feel like I’m ahead of a lot of sleevers ☹️ and I know everyone’s journey is different but idk maybe I’m just being silly

Yes he did but I have a patch on so I didn’t want do double up on nausea meds. once this patch expires and if I’m still nauseous I’ll take my nausea meds (:




Two nights ago I all of a sudden got nauseous. I have a patch on and still took a zofran. No issues since. Be sure your patch isn’t over 72 hours. If so change it out

I feel fine aside from the muscle pain but other than that I feel like I could take on the world. Any other sleevers able to sleep on their sides or stomach?




Hood Morning I did lastnite and I actually slept better then the other nites I’m still just a lil sore around the large incision but I’m taking regular Tylenol now and it helped with the soreness... I aswell am having a hard time with the Protein but I’m not gonna lie I boiled broccoli lastnite with some chicken seasoning added a lil butter and mushed it up like mashed potatoes and it was great I got 3 oz down

      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!!
