I'm shocked at how quickly I've progressed.

No pain meds since 5 am. Very little pain.

I'm ready to go home. Lol

That's great! Always nice to hear about a smooth recovery!

Just be ready for the stall!

I never pushed the iv pain meds while in the hospital. The nurse would push it after she said your not using your pain meds. She would say you’ve paid for them since it is in iv Fluid so no refunds. I quit taking pain meds after I got home. Only took them the day of surgery and the next day. Once I got home I really didn’t feel I needed them.

Gees, I hope I have that same "problem!" Nice to know what is possible. I envisioned pumping the morphine every 15 minutes. Have they had you up and walking a lot? Appreciate your sharing!

I got up and walked and walked. My first time around the hospital floor I did either 3 or 4 laps. The next time I added 1 or 2 more laps to those. Felt good to be up instead of laying in the bed.

Im glad to hear you’re doing good. I’m 3 days post op. I’ve been good since I came home yesterday. After surgery and the day after were the worst. I’m good and keeping the liquid and Protein down.

That's great!! I had a 4 hr recovery because of the band to sleeve revisionand then home last Thursday. However, take it easy. I went back to work yesterday and was exhausted afterwards. Today was much better.

Yes I got up about every hour and a half to two hours and did a few laps. It helps!

      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!!
