I am in my gown waiting for iv. My doctor just came by and prayed with me and for me and the surgery. My belly is just so nervous inside. Almost show time. He is going to do his first case right now. Then me.

36 hours post op and I feel better than I expected. Shower and brushing teeth were strangely the most wonderful things ever!

Only Water yesterday but today is 3oz per hour of some variety of fluids. broth for lunch (what seemed like a huge portion) with apple juice with Protein, and 2 other juices.

Hope my bypass twins are feeling great too. It's a big decision but I cannot wait to get my health and my life back. I've hidden behind drab ugly clothes for too long. It's time to feel better.

Good morning! I am about 14 hours post op and don’t feel too bad. Just very sore on my right side and when I try to move it burns and stings. I have been sipping Water and eating small ice chips. I ate couple bites of a popsicle and drank about ounce or two of water and I was full. I have 5 incisions. That are all glued. And I slept in the chair instead of the bed. Hope everyone is doing well this morning.

I'm now 8 days post op. Was able to finally sleep on my side last night (hugging a pillow). Feel like I've turned a corner today...hardly any pain relief. Now just need the bowels to start working!!! My doctor added a second laxative today so hopefully some results in the next few days. pureed food boring but not for much longer!!! Also had heartburn last 2 nights....weird....might have been what I ate. No more today so far. Just a new tummy getting used to working again maybe. Glad to hear the 26th girls went well!!!

I’m coming up on 24 hours post op. Pain has been noticeable but I’ve had no problems with Clear Liquids. Walking like a champ - they told me to slow down and stop taking the long way.

Way to go. I walked the Long way too. I walked in the middle of the night as well. Sounds like you are doing pretty well. That’s awesome. I am doing pretty good too I think lol. We are on the losers bench now.

Isn't it odd? I got no,meals at all in my hospital. Started with Water sips, moved to clear fruity liquids, to flavored milky shakes, once,i got good enough for those, it was let us mix you up a goodbye milky shake, and Goodbye Charley. No broth, Jello, Popsicles, puddings, for Frustr8. Also I never got any hal waljs, basically room- bound, on bedside commode, so no BR or showers. Come to think of it, not even a bed bath. Did I get the Royal Treatment or Did I get cheated? Oh well, life is as it is! I'm still living, living adequately well, and I guess if I were sitting on a saw blade I would be complaining about the sharpness and angle. So leave everything as it is?

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
