My surgery date is coming



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness after my first day of full liquids I hit the wall of pain like you would not believe. I thought I tolerated everything well. I could not sleep at all that night and when I got up the next day I had to drive for the first time since surgery. I actually had to go and sit through a 4 hour class. That was fun, NOT. I did it but it was not fun. I went back to clear liquid and drank a protein2o drink along with my Water and that was all I had on Monday. I called my doctor on Tuesday and his nurse told me I may have become lactose intolerant. However I am able to tolerate the regular Protein Shakes just fine.

Doing pretty good. Just wish I could get some real energy back! Guess that will come as I consume more food.

I was sleeved 9/25 and doing fairly well. Believe after some Soup that made my sleeve angry it caused some reflux so I’m behind in liquids and Protein but starting to try to catch up after a couple days of TLC. Still makes me nervous anytime I feel anything because I’m sure it’s one of the horrible complications. Down 16.4 since surgery and 49.7 since I started my pre-op on 8/28. I miss eating but after the soup experience I’m fine holding off for another couple of weeks.

@CRD1981, how bad is it? Are you going to see your surgeon about it or is it small enough you can just,put Neosporin and a BandAid on? When you are finished healing you may just have it not a perfect white line, a mini-wider. My abdominal wall one from when I had my gall bladder &appendix removal is still wider where the drain was in and that was 34 and a half years ago. No shame in my game, I'll show my belly to anyone, it's just few people ask!

I went back to work today. Feeling bit tired this eve and feel some tugging in belly. Prob from inside stitches. Yesterday I started having diarrhea several times yesterday and few times today already. I know that isn’t helping the dehydration that is prob lurking already. Just ready to go home and rest. I go see my surgeon tomorrow for my two week follow up. I noticed I had some pain through my upper back when trying to eat last night but none today. Hope everyone is well. Oh yea and I still have the allergic reaction around all my incisions. Just not as bad.

Is it possible to stall this early on?

Absolutely! Just drink and walk as much as you can without putting too much strain on yourself.

      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!!
