A continuation of our Summer 2018 Check-In thread...

Welcome all Summer 2018 Surgery Post-Op Patients! As we make our way into the Post-Op zone, let’s carry on the conversation and support.

Everyone is welcome, if you had surgery in the summer of 2018 jump right in!

The Ponies applaud your Post-Op Arrival!

That might help a lot! Thanks so much!

You’re very welcome! I couldn’t get a pic of the full log because I have my fan on and the paper just wanted to fly away but this is an example of the fluid log. And oddly yes, i can get down 60ccs of water in a 15 minute sitting. Weird honestly, must be my love of water, lol

5 days post op and tired of liquids ?

I completely understand and to think I have another week (after this week) if this. I want to chew food so badly ???

To be honest I cheated today. I ate the noodles in the chicken noodle soup, I know I shouldn’t have though and my body regretted it very soon after but I want to chew actual food too. I’m so dang tired of PROTEIN?

Well I’m guessing you had your first run in with dumping ?. And I want so badly to chew, I’m going to be happy when I can have “puréed” stuff like tuna. I managed not to eat noodles or veggies in my chicken soup today (which is hard because the veggies are pretty much my favorite part of the soup). We can do this, just a little while longer. Wishing you well

Just had my surgery yesterday!

Congrats your on the other side!!!! Hope you’re doing well.

I had my revision to bypass on 6/26, and I was so proud of how well I rocked it. I was zooming those halls and drinking like a champ. My drain couldn’t come out, as it was draining too much. A home nurse came out twice and still had to leave the drain in. I started having awful pain on Sunday and finally went to ER yesterday. The drain was kept in too long and got an infection. The pain radiates up to my chest and collarbone so I am kind of miserable. I keep getting small fevers but am hopeful the antibiotics kick in soon. I want to go back to zooming around!

Yay! How are you doing? I am 6 days post op. Still very sore and struggling to get in liquids.

So my stomach binder came in today and oh my God it was just what I needed! Everything feels held together nicely and I don’t have the granny walk when I wear it. Best $35 I’ve ever spent
