I did it! I'm out the other side of surgery, this is my second full day post-op.

After surgery I felt like a donkey had kicked me, yesterday I felt like it was just a large dog. Today, a small terrier, maybe.

So you just have to get through the first 24—48 sucky hours and then it will be OK!

Also my suggestion is ask for all the pain relief drugs they are willing to give you. Does make a difference!

I'm on liquids now but in the hospital they gave me Dutch Rusks to actually eat which was beyond weird. I never thought I'd be eating anything for a month. But I'd brought over enough Protein Shake powders to keep a small army travelling so that's what I'm having for brekkie, lunch and tea now.

All the best

Thanks lads! Oh my goodness, though, the noises that are coming from my body. Is this normal? I sound like a symphony orchestra warming up all over??

Mr U did not care for the MOOD MUSIC🎶🎹🎶? Well perhaps it will settle down soon, maybe you need a gas-release medicine, over here we have Gas-X, perhaps a warm cuppa tea would help?🍵Would giggle but when it happens. to YOU it is not as Humorous, is it?

      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!!
