2 week post surgery exam



Recommended Posts

Saw my surgeon this morning, he was pleased at how my incisions look and my abdomen feels. He gave me clearance to start adding various foods into my diet starting of course with the soft foods and depending on how I handle things back to regular foods in my own time. He was ok with the idea that 1/4 to 1/2 of a cup of food at each meal was just right and depending on my workout the amount of calories I am getting can be increased. He cleared me to swim and work out but no crunches for a while.

Im so excited, no more shakes, Soups, and jello!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
