I feel great, everyday I feel less and less pain. My incisions never hurt since day one and my stomach hasn’t been bloated. I can drink like a 4oz cup of chicken bone broth drained. Plain Water is the hardest for me because I’m not thirsty and I get a little stuck feeling when it lands on my pouch. It only lasts a second but I really dislike the feeling. So far I haven’t felt hunger or fullness. I just try to sip my Protein Shakes and I was able to drink a whole Premier Protein bottle today by drinking 1oz every 20 min. Tomorrow I’ll aim for another Protein Drink, more Water and a cup of broth. how much are you drinking?

Hi All!

I had my procedure on the 21st as well! I am tolerating all my liquids well and pain is under control for the most part. I have one incision that is still very sore. I am guessing this is the incision where they pulled out the stomach. This incision has a small bruise but swollen. I have 5 all together and this is the only one that is problematic. Is this normal?

Yea, the biggest incision or the one that has been tugged the most with instruments is usually the most painful. For me it was the one under my breast bone, this puncture was used for the liver retractor and although it doesn’t hurt superficially the actual muscle underneath is pretty sore but everyday hurts less and less.

      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!!
